I don’t have an answer, but I was curious and so I tried setting the option RESTPATH to /tmp. I am using 8.6.5.

With that, run=some.xq and run=../tmp/some.xq both ran the same query. In some.xq I had doc(‘../tmp/some.xml’) and I get an error that

/opt/tomcat/webapps/basex/tmp/some.xml doesn’t exist. WEBPATH is /opt/tomcat/webapps/basex/.

So, it could be a difference in settings or default settings between the 2 versions, as opposed to being a bug.

Subject: [basex-talk] New basex-version -> broken paths

Hi all,

I updated my aged basex-version (8.5.3) to 8.6.6. With the new version, my defined file-references are broken, for example:

let $style := doc('../xq_diff/remove_elements_from_doc.xsl‘)

Even files in the same directory with the XQuery-file (corrigenda.xq) like: let $tokens := doc(„tokens.xml")

With 8.5.3 the REST-Requests with http://localhost:8984/rest?run=xqs/corrigenda.xq worked without problems.

With 8.6.6 and with the same request I’ll get the following error:

Stopped at ., 11/18:

[FODC0002] Resource '/Users/xq_diff/remove_elements_from_doc.xsl' does not exist

OR

Stopped at ., 79/26:

[FODC0002] Resource '/Users/xxx/kleist_tokens.xml' does not exist.

It does work in BaseXGUI but not with the http-server. 

Thanks for any help, Guenter
