Bug #5906

C# context item absent
100%
Description
Hi everyone,
Discovered while developing a .NET 6.0 console application in Visual Studio 2022. In Saxon 12.0 C# via NuGet, I have the following stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="3.0">
<xsl:variable name="root-el" as="element()" select="/*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<out>
<xsl:copy-of select="name($root-el)"/>
</out>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When used along the model of the C# example, transformer.ApplyTemplates(input, results) produces this:
Error at char 1 in expression in xsl:variable/@select on line 4 column 6 of bill2.xsl:
XPDY0002 Finding root of tree: the context item is absent
at variable root-el on line 4 column 6 of bill2.xsl:
invoked by global variable root-el at file:///D:/XPUB_STANDARD/XSLT-Specs/XSLT/XSLT-Bill_TypeSetting/main/bill2.xsl#4
In template rule with match="/" on line 5 of bill2.xsl
Finding root of tree: the context item is absent
I've replicated the same error in the Saxon resources summarize.xsl by adding $root-el as a global variable and copying the value of its name to the result tree created by the main template. (The template, out of the box, otherwise works like a charm.)
Also seems to happen when I downgrade to version 11.5.
I do not have this error running the code into the Saxon-CS downloaded directly from Saxonica or in other . So there might be something in the NuGet or C# infrastructure that's causing this.
