Subject:Lack of debug support for XSLT 2.0 is show-stopper issue for me Author:Tim Crews Date:31 Jul 2007 10:39 PM
I am evaluating the Professional edition of Stylus Studio.
I am attempting to debug an XSLT 2.0 spreadsheet. Like most stylesheets, it uses global variables.
As far as I can tell, the only processor that supports XSLT 2.0 is Saxon 8.9.0.3.
I have run into the issue that my watch window and variables window do not work. I have searched this forum and found posts as far back as May 7 indicating that this is a known problem.
I know different people use Stylus Studio for different things, but I am only using it for XSLT 2.0 development, and if this doesn't work, the product is just plain broken for me!

Is there any workaround for this at all? An older patch level for Stylus Studio? A beta version of a newer version? An older version of Saxon? A different XSLT 2.0 engine? I am desperate for debugging capability.
(Since my original message, I have purchased Stylus Studio Professional, and I have enjoyed all of the XSLT-related features, but I am badly in need of the debugger right now.)

Is there hope that this bug will be fixed soon? Because for me the Stylusstudio is quite useless without debugging capabilities. I decided to buy Stylusstudio because of debugging xslt 2.0 with Saxon!!

Hi,
i downloaded the update and installed it but the version is still "Build 894k" and debugging with Saxon still doesn't work. Is this the correct version for update?

You should get the new version; I can only imagine you ended up using a cached version in your web browser? Try forcing a clean of your cache, and download it again.

Clearing the browser cache brought no success. When i start the download, it lasts 1 minute till the download ends. Why should the browser give me a cached version?? Have you tried to download and install the file?
I also tried to update out of the Stylusstudio, but it says that i have installed the newest version (894k).

Ok, sorry. It was indeed a problem with the proxy-server cache.
So thank you for the good work, now i see almost every variable in my debug output.
I have another question: while debugging the following code i see not all variables in the debug output:

Hi Stephan,
unfortunately Saxon 8.9 doesn't store the name of local variables, so it's impossible for us to get them (we can see the values, although); we are investigating if there is a way to recover them, and maybe fallback to show just the values with a generated name.

Hi,
aha. But i can see the variable "Service" in my example although it's also a local variable. Hmm, strange?!

Hi Stephan,
I just double checked the package by downloading it from http://www.stylusstudio.com/update/2007_R2.html, and it is indeed
bl894m. Can you try cleaning up the browser cache and trying again?
