11178 2010-10-30 15:00:11 +0000 [saxonica] Validity status wrongly specified in an instance test 2011-02-07 09:52:59 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XML Schema Test Suite Saxon tests 2006-11-06 All All RESOLVED FIXED P2 major --- 1 gandhi.mukul cmsmcq mike public-xml-schema-testsuite oldest_to_newest 41872 0 gandhi.mukul 2010-10-30 15:00:11 +0000 In the test set file All.testSet from Saxonica the following XSD 1.1 test seems to be wrongly specified: <testGroup name="all004" -> <instanceTest name="all004.v02.xml"> The expected validity of this test is specified as "valid". I believe when instance document all004.v02.xml is attempted to be validated with schema all004.xsd a compliant XSD 1.1 processor must return an "invalid" outcome (the reasons for this are specified below). In the schema document mentioned above, the element declaration specifies: <xs:element name="doc" nillable="1"> .. </xs:element> and the instance document is as follows: <doc xsi:nil="1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> </doc> Since there are whitespace child nodes within element "doc", the contents of element "doc" are not strictly empty. To rectify this test case, I would suggest either of following measures: 1. Modify the instance document to remove whitespace children within element "doc", i.e corrected instance document would then be, <doc xsi:nil="1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" /> OR 2. Modify the test spec of test <instanceTest name="all004.v02.xml"> to say expected validity as "invalid". 41873 1 mike 2010-10-30 17:29:39 +0000 Thanks for reporting this. I believe you are correct. As well as revealing an error in the test case, this appears to point to (a) a bug in Saxon, and (b) a serious gap in the coverage of the test suite which this test accidentally filled. 45170 2 mike 2011-02-07 09:52:59 +0000 I fixed this a while ago, but failed to record here the fact that I had done so. I changed the v02 instance to contain no whitespace (and therefore be valid), and added an n02 instance which is invalid because it contains whitespace. I am therefore marking this as resolved.
