It seems that in VERSION 9.3 (November 29, 2019) the doc-available($xml-doc) seems to be broken; it should return a boolean but throws an exception.

Has this been fixed recently? Cannot find a reference to such a fix in GIT.

Subject: Doc-available() function, behavior?
To: BaseX <basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de>

Dear Basex People,

I have this fragment:

let $xml-doc := 'MyDatabase/bogus-entry.xml'
let $list := if (doc-available($xml-doc)) then doc($xml-doc)/* else ()
return $list

I'd expect BaseX to return the empty sequence when the document is not in the collection. But Basex returns an error:

[basex:doc] Database path 'MyDatabase/bogus-entry.xml' yields no documents.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I was following the example in https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases#XML_Documents nicely...

Thanks in advance!!
