Description Tim Mills 2013-07-19 12:56:59 UTC 
The test "typeswitch-in-xpath" appears in a test-set with dependency XQ10+, but the test itself can only be run in XP20+.

It's impossible to meet both these requirements simultaneously, and so I think the test can never be run.
Comment 1 O'Neil Delpratt 2013-07-19 13:04:17 UTC 
This test looks OK as it has the XP20+ dependency at the test case level.
Comment 2 Tim Mills 2013-07-19 13:14:01 UTC 
I'm afraid I don't agree.  

We first test the condition at the test-set level, then the condition in the test-case.  The condition at the test-set level should always be as permissive as that in the test-case.

Since this is the ONLY case in which this occurs, I believe it to be a bug.  As soon as this is fixed, I'll be ready to submit results.
Comment 3 Michael Kay 2013-07-19 13:17:41 UTC 
I think there may be some cases where the author of a test has assumed that a dependency at test-case level masks or overrides a dependency of the same type at test-set level. The way the documentation is written, this isn't the case: the dependencies should be cumulative. So I think Tim is right, if XQ10 is required at test-set level and XQ20 is required at test-case level, then the dependencies for this test case can never be satisfied.
Comment 4 Tim Mills 2013-07-19 13:20:35 UTC 
A quick fix would be to move this test out of prod/TypeswitchExpr.xml and into misc/CombinedErrorCodes.xml.
Comment 5 O'Neil Delpratt 2013-07-19 13:21:39 UTC 
Ok. I will move the test.
Comment 6 O'Neil Delpratt 2013-07-19 13:26:45 UTC 
Bug fixed and committed to cvs.
Comment 7 Tim Mills 2013-07-19 13:47:15 UTC 
Thanks.
Comment 8 Tim Mills 2013-07-19 13:59:46 UTC 
BTW, I've just removed the original version from TypeswitchExpr.xml.
