Using XSpec with xsl:result-document in XSLT file

[Jenny Sherman]

hi

I wrote some very simple XSLT and associated XSpec tests and everything worked fine.

My spec then changed to specify the filename of the output xml file within the XSLT. I used xsl:result-document to do this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

  exclude-result-prefixes="xs"

  version="2.0">

  <xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:result-document href="{//Rendition/@ISBN}.xml">

    <Extract>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Series[not(@Type='Sub Series')]"/>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Series[@Type='Sub Series']"/>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Edition"/>

    </Extract>

    </xsl:result-document>

  </xsl:template>
  ...
</xsl:stylesheet>

My sample files are still output correctly, but unfortunately my XSpec now fails for every test as the result output is empty. Example snippet from XSpec:

<x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec" stylesheet="../../Extract.xsl">

    <x:scenario label="Series">

      <x:context href="XML-Samples/file.xml"/>

      <x:expect label="if Series information exists, include in extract retaining 'ID' attribute" test="exists(/GenericXMLExtract/Series[not(@Type)][@ID='15427'])"/>

      <x:expect label="if Series has EISSN and ISSN information, retain as attributes" test="exists(/GenericXMLExtract/Series[@ID='15427'][@EISSN='2522-8609'][@ISSN='2522-8595'])"/>

      ...

    </x:scenario>
</x:description>

Can anyone tell me how I can update my XSLT and/or my XSpec so that the result is not empty and the tests will pass?

The current XSpec implementation doesn't work with xsl:result-document.

A quick workaround would be encapsulating its sequence constructor in a named template

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

  exclude-result-prefixes="xs"

  version="2.0">

  <xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:result-document href="{//Rendition/@ISBN}.xml">

      <xsl:call-template name="document-node-handler" />

    </xsl:result-document>

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="document-node-handler">

    <Extract>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Series[not(@Type='Sub Series')]"/>

      ...

    </Extract>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and testing it

<x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec" stylesheet="../../Extract.xsl">

    <x:scenario label="Series">

      <x:context href="XML-Samples/file.xml"/>

      <x:call template="document-node-handler"/>

      <x:expect label="if Series information exists, include in extract retaining 'ID' attribute" test="exists(/GenericXMLExtract/Series[not(@Type)][@ID='15427'])"/>

      ...

    </x:scenario>

</x:description>

Just my quick thought.
