Tim CrewsSubject: Lack of debug support for XSLT 2.0 is show-stopper issue for me
Author: Tim Crews

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!

We are aware of the problem with Saxon debugging; it is a regression
in the current patch level. We are working to resolve it.

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.)

A fix for this is in the QA cycle.

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.

It should be 894m.

Either the previous version is still in your browser's cache,
or somewhere between us and your ISP a cached copy hasn't been
updated yet.

Try clearing your browser's cache as the first step.

I also tried to update out of the Stylusstudio, but it says that i have installed the newest version (894k).

Yes, we did try, and it works as expected from what we can tell.

Is your machine behind a Proxy? There is indeed some caching going on there for you.

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:

<xsl:template match="SERVICE">
<xsl:variable name="Service" select="."/>
<saxon:assign name="HasSGMLFileLink" select="false()"/>

<xsl:for-each select="../../DASDIR">
<xsl:if test="$HasSGMLFileLink=false()">
<xsl:variable name="SGSDir" select="concat($DASROOT, '/trees/', text())"/>

<xsl:for-each select="collection(iri-to-uri(concat($SGSDir, '?stripspace=ignore;select=(CV|cv|cV|Cv)*.sgs;recurse=yes')))">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$SPARTE='transp'">

</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:variable name="CVItems" select="//CVItemDef[DiagService/@Name=$Service]"/>

<xsl:for-each select="$CVItems">
<xsl:if test="$HasSGMLFileLink=false()">
<xsl:if test="SGMLFile">
<saxon:assign name="HasSGMLFileLink" select="true()"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

I don't see the variables "SGSDir" and "CVItems" although they are initialized and used. Is there a reason for this?

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.

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

Stephan,
the names of the template variables are kept in the local variable table; all the others are optimized away.

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?

Thanks,
Alberto
