Strange things happen. This is unexpected indeed, we’ll look at it soon [1]. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi,

is this a bug? The store is always clearing on restart.
In contrast, the documentation says: "The store will still be available if BaseX is restarted until it is cleared." https://docs.basex.org/main/Store_Functions

It works as documented in 11.6, but not in 11.7 and 11.8.

Steps to reproduce via GUI:

11.6:
Start GUI
XQuery: store:put('TEST','TEST')
Close GUI
Start GUI
XQuery: store:get('TEST')
Result: 'TEST'

11.7/8:
Start GUI
XQuery: store:put('TEST','TEST')
Close GUI
Start GUI
XQuery: store:get('TEST')
Result is empty

The changelog for 11.7 says (not related?): [MOD] Store functions: only read if contents have changed (https://basex.org/2025/01/31/basex-11.7/)

Cheers, Daniel
