RE: SCXML test 147: transition contains empty condition

Stefan,
 I think it's possible that a change has slipped into your version of test147.txml

I have found two kinds of problems with xslt files. 1) If the .xsl file doesn't have any transformation matching a given conf item, the conf item ends up untransformed in the scxml file (and the interpreter chokes on it or ignores it).  However, when a conf item gets transformed into the empty string, it means 2) that the transformation contains a regexp that isn't matching for some reason.  Here's the definition of conf:idVal.  As you can see it has an <xsl:analyze-string ...> followed by a <xsl:matching-substring...>  If the regex matches nothing, then you'll get an empty string in the output (because there's no matching substring).  So the first thing I would do is to look at test147.txml to make sure that in idVal="somestring", the 'somestring' expression matches the 'regex'.  If any extraneous character has crept in, it could block the match and cause this problem.

<xsl:template match="//@conf:idVal">
		<xsl:attribute name="cond">
		<xsl:analyze-string select="."
			regex="([0-9]+)([=&lt;&gt;]=?)(.*)">
					<xsl:matching-substring>Var<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>
						<xsl:variable name="op"><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/></xsl:variable>
						<xsl:choose>
							<xsl:when test="$op='='">==</xsl:when>
							<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$op"/></xsl:otherwise>
					 </xsl:choose>
					 	<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(3)"/>
					</xsl:matching-substring>

		</xsl:analyze-string>
	</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

P.S.  I am using xerces and running on windows

I'd like to add that xsltproc gives me the same output - it is linked against libxslt.so (version1.1.27 here) as well. So it seems to be an issue with anything that uses libxslt to do the XSLT processing.

Regards
Stefan

As I was stepping through them, I realized that the generated test 147 contains a transition with an empty condition [1], which ought to be true for the test to be passed. Empty strings evaluate to false with my ecmascript implementation, so the test fails.
