Docker Image fails on initialization
by Moishy Uminer 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Hi, I downloaded the basex/basexhttp docker image, and upon running docker run --name basexhttp basex/basexhttp:latest --publish 8984:8984 --volume "$HOME/basex/data":/srv/basex/data I received the following error message: /usr/local/bin/mvn-entrypoint.sh: exec: line 50: illegal option -- after which the container exits. Did I do something wrong (in which case I'll be happy to hear of my error), or is this a bug (in which case I'd appreciate it if this were fixed). Thanks in advance!

recursively used variables
by Rob Stapper 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Hi, For those who follow this discussion and find it an interesting case, hereby an example of the problem I’m facing. The example throws an error: Static variable depends on itself: …… The example concerns a 3-step cyclic construct: “BASE-TYPE.xqm” -> “SUPER-TYPE.xqm” -> “SUPER-SUPER-TYPE.xqm” -> “BASE-TYPE.xqm”, starting of from “test.xq”. I need the solution to comply with four rules: - The module-functions must be %private and may only be addressed from outside the module through a public module-$variable. This way inheritance between modules can simply be implemented by the use of variables. - The internal structure of a module-function must be completely hidden for use outside the module. So if the module-function calls another function it is not allowed to pass this called upon function or its name in the module-function’s parameterlist. That is why I can’t use Leo solution here. - The 3-step cycle structure can not be changed. - I need a generic solution. The solution is of course that it just works; Christian is having a look at it, but I thought it an interesting enough case to share and maybe somebody comes up with an solution that does complies to these rules as a temporary 😉 work around. My solution for the time being is violating my first rule. Have fun, Rob Stapper PS for using the example, just extract it and copy the extracted directory in BaseX’s src-directory. Start "test.xq” from within BaseX and it should work Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Leo, Thank you for your reply. I’m aware of these kind of solutions, I use them frequently allthough I have to admit that these slipped my mind here. Great solutions by the way. But getting the code working is not my problem. What I’m looking for is a generic solution for some sort of inheritance mechanism( see attachment for an example). The code-snippet is just meant to supply the BaseX-team with an basic executable example of the bare issue. I’m not even sure if it is a bug because I don’t know if it is behavior by design. But now the BaseX-team is aware of the situation. Probably I should have said that the functions can be activated cyclically in stead of just recursively. Where cyclical can be interpret as indirect recursive. And in that case the solution doesn’t hold.

Help with a function to return paths
by Bridger Dyson-Smith 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hi all - I hope you don't mind a question about serializing distinct XPaths. I'm trying to generate some reports for documentation and the available built-in and library functions[1] aren't quite what I need. The output I'm after is: test/aaa/bbb[@type="foo"] test/aaa/bbb[@type="foo"][@enc="bar"] test/aaa/bbb[@type="bzz"][@enc="bar"] test/aaa/bbb[@type="qux"][@enc="bar"][@key="yes"][@point="start"] test/aaa/bbb[@type="qux"][@enc="bar"][@key="yes"][@point="end"] I have a couple of functions that are getting me close, but I can't quite manage the output strings, and multiple children are causing me trouble (entirely too much like real life). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've created a gist[2] with the following example: Thanks very much for your time and trouble. Best, Bridger ```xquery xquery version "3.1"; declare variable $input := <test> <aaa> <bbb type="foo">bbb content</bbb> </aaa> <aaa> <bbb type="foo" enc="bar">bbb content</bbb> </aaa> <aaa> <bbb type="bzz" enc="bar">bbb content</bbb> <bbb type="qux" enc="bar" key="yes" point="start">bbb content</bbb> <bbb type="qux" enc="bar" key="yes" point="end">bbb content</bbb> </aaa> </test>; declare function local:elem( $nodes as node()* ) as xs:string* { for $node in $nodes return( string-join( if ($node/@*) then (string-join((name($node) || string-join(for $att in $node/@* return local:atty($att))), "/"), local:elem($node/child::*)) else if ($node/child::*) then (for $child in $node/child::* return local:elem($child), local:elem($node/child::*)) else (name($node) || "/" || local:elem($node/child::*)) ) ) }; declare function local:atty( $att as attribute() ) as xs:string* { "[@" || name($att) || "='" || data($att) || "']" }; local:e2($input (: this currently returns test/aaa/bbb[@type='foo']/ / /aaa/bbb[@type='foo'][@enc='bar']/ / /aaa/bbb[@type='bzz'][@enc='bar']/ /bbb[@type='qux'][@enc='bar'][@key='yes'][@point='start']/ /bbb[@type='qux'][@enc='bar'][@key='yes'][@point='end']/ / :) ``` [1] fn:path, and the related functions from functx (functx:distinct-element-paths, functx:path-to-node, and functx:path-to-node-with-pos). The functx functions are really close and awesome, but I need to incorporate attributes into my output. [2] https://gist.github.com/CanOfBees/8cfb435ac06986c9b0b0c215a786f4d7

Dpi scaling problem - Ubuntu 20.04
by Silamphre 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hello everyone, I started using BaseX for a class project a few days ago. I'd like to run it on my Ubuntu 20.04. I've installed openjdk version 14 to do so. I've set my Ubuntu display settings at 125% fractional scaling, but it appears that BaseX does not scale with this setting. The GUI consequently appears really tiny, almost unusable. Does someone have a way to solve this issue, and make BaseX scales accordingly to my Ubuntu display settings, please? Thank you for your help.
