Hi,

I’m seeing different results from base-uri() in BaseX 8.4 vs. 8.5.2. I believe the 8.4 answer is correct and the 8.5.2 answer is incorrect.

Here is an example, and there is nothing special about the particular folder or XML file I used.

base-uri(collection("file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/BaseX8.4/webapp/WEB-INF")/*[*:display-name])

BaseX 8.4 result:

file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/BaseX8.4/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

BaseX 8.5.2 and 8.6 result (notice “WEB-INF/” is missing):

file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/BaseX8.4/webapp/web.xml

Saxon agrees with BaseX 8.4.

Thanks,

Amanda
