Summary
XSpec 3.0.3 upgrades its connections with related software. Support for testing Schematron schemas now uses SchXslt as the built-in Schematron implementation. XSLT code coverage is compatible with Saxon 12.4 or later.
Common to Languages Under Test
- XSpec is tested with Saxon 12, 11, and 10, while use of Saxon versions earlier than 12.4 is not recommended.
- XSpec no longer supports Saxon 9.
- When comparing XML, you can ignore some or all attributes using three-dot syntax
x:attrs="...". - XPath function items stored in global variables are testable using syntax
<x:call function="my-function" call-as="variable">.
XSLT
- XSLT code coverage feature is compatible with Saxon 12.4. Compatibility note: This upgrade is not backward compatible with earlier Saxon versions. Also, Saxon 12.4 does not report some
xsl:sequenceinstructions that are actually hit. - XSpec experimentally supports testing with XSLT 4.0 and XPath 4.0. Set
xslt-version="4.0"onx:description, and use an XSLT processor that has support for 4.0 enabled.
XQuery
- XSpec experimentally supports testing with XQuery 4.0 and XPath 4.0. Set
xquery-version="4.0"onx:description, and use an XQuery processor that has support for 4.0.
Schematron
- SchXslt 1.9.5 replaces the skeleton implementation because the latter is no longer maintained. Compatibility note: Some XSpec tests might produce different results with SchXslt.
- XSpec scenarios can verify the text of messages or diagnostics. Add expected text inside
x:expect-assertorx:expect-report.
