[ANN] Upcoming XSpec v3.0
We plan to release XSpec v3.0 in mid April. Please try the release candidate, and feel free to report any bugs, feature requests, or feedback.

You may be interested in these changes:

Common to Languages Under Test
  • XSpec is tested with Saxon 12, 11, and 10, while use of Saxon versions earlier than 12.4 is not recommended.
  • XSpec no longer supports Saxon 9.
  • When comparing XML, you can ignore some or all attributes using three-dot syntax x:attrs="...".
  • XPath functions stored in variables are testable using syntax <x:call function="my-function" call-as="variable">.
XSLT
  • XSLT code coverage feature is compatible with Saxon 12.4. Compatibility note: This upgrade is not backward compatible with earlier Saxon versions.
  • XSpec experimentally supports testing with XSLT 4.0 and XPath 4.0. Set xslt-version="4.0" on x:description, and use an XSLT processor that has support for 4.0 enabled.
XQuery
  • XSpec experimentally supports testing with XQuery 4.0 and XPath 4.0. Set xquery-version="4.0" on x:description, and use an XQuery processor that has support for 4.0.
Schematron
  • SchXslt 1.9.5 replaces the skeleton implementation because the latter is no longer maintained. Compatibility note: Some XSpec tests might produce different results with SchXslt.
  • XSpec scenarios can verify the text of messages or diagnostics. Add expected text inside x:expect-assert or x:expect-report.
