Description

I am currently using saxon-js 2.0.3, and my project runs without issues. I am trying to upgrade to 2.3, but I have encountered what I believe is a bug. It can be demonstrated as follows.

import saxon from "saxon-js";

const text = "<index>\
    <entry name='A' />\
    <entry name='B' />\
    <entry name='C' />\
</index>";

saxon.getResource({ text, type: "xml" })
.then(document => {

    const elements = saxon.XPath.evaluate("entry", document.documentElement);

    for (const element of elements) {
        console.log(element.localName); // this prints "entry" on 2.0.3, but prints "undefined" on 2.3
    }

});

The example can be further reduced to the following.

import saxon from "saxon-js";

saxon.getResource({ text: "<data />", type: "xml" })
.then(document => {

    console.log(document.documentElement.localName); // this prints "data" on 2.0.3, but prints "undefined" on 2.3

});

The issue appears to have been introduced in version 2.1.

Thanks for the reproducible case. We'll take a look as soon as possible.

Sorry that we've rather dropped the ball on SaxonJS bug reports.

What puzzles me about this one is that the synchronous equivalent

console.log(saxon.XPath.evaluate("parse-xml('<data/>')").documentElement.localName)

works just fine.

Equally, it works if I do it in stages:

node --experimental-repl-await
>var saxon = require('saxon-js')
>var promise = saxon.getResource({text:"<data/>",type:"xml"})
>var doc = await promise;
>console.log(doc.documentElement.localName)

So I think there's something wrong with the way you're handling the returned promise.
