Description

The test case

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="3.0"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

  expand-text="yes">
  
  <xsl:template match="/" name="xsl:initial-template">
    <test>
       <run-with>{system-property('xsl:product-name')} {system-property('xsl:product-version')} {system-property('Q{http://saxon.sf.net/}platform')} at {current-dateTime()}</run-with>
       <result>replace('15/01/24', '(.{2})/(.{2})/(.{2})', '$3$2$1'): {replace('15/01/24', '(.{2})/(.{2})/(.{2})', '$3$2$1')}</result>
    </test>
  </xsl:template>
  
</xsl:stylesheet>

when run with SaxonJS 2.6 both in the browser and from Node.js gives an unexpected and in my view wrong error message Invalid XPath regular expression: '{' not allowed here.

Output from Node.js xslt3 -t -it command:

Saxon HE 12 Java runs the code just fine.

The problem seems to be the sequence .{2}, if I use something like [0-9]{2} instead, SaxonJS evaluates it fine. But .{2} ought to work.

Does the problem occur if the same regex is used outside the context of an AVT?

Yes, Mike,

the same code without AVTs

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="3.0"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

  expand-text="no">
  
  <xsl:template match="/" name="xsl:initial-template">
    <test>
       <run-with xsl:expand-text="yes">{system-property('xsl:product-name')} {system-property('xsl:product-version')} {system-property('Q{http://saxon.sf.net/}platform')} at {current-dateTime()}</run-with>
       <result>replace('15/01/24', '(.{2})/(.{2})/(.{2})', '$3$2$1'): <xsl:value-of select="replace('15/01/24', '(.{2})/(.{2})/(.{2})', '$3$2$1')"/></result>
    </test>
  </xsl:template>
  
</xsl:stylesheet>

still gives

Looks like a simple parsing error: in the case '.' branch at regex.js line 372, it should set allowOpenCurly to true, as it does for example after ) or ].

I suspect this should also be set on the case ' ' (whitespace) branch on line 392.

(This code is parsing an XPath regex to convert it into a Javascript regex).

Added qt3tests test fn-replace-59. (See pull request https://github.com/w3c/qt3tests/pull/57. I unintentionally added this commit to a pull request which was already open.)

  • Status changed from New to Resolved
  • Fix Committed on JS Branch 2, Trunk added

Fix committed on main and saxonjs2 branches, so the new QT3 test fn-replace-59 now passes. I have made precisely the changes suggested by Mike in comment #note-4 (i.e. without any further review).
