XML Templater Error

Hi!

While using the XMLTemplater, I sometimes come across this error:

XMLTemplater_2(XMLTemplaterFactory): The following error occurred near line 4, column 25 of the query:

XMLTemplater_2(XMLTemplaterFactory): invalid expression: syntax error, unexpected ExprSingle (missing comma "," between expressions?)

What does this mean? The XML has been pasted from XMLSpy whom have no issues with the XML. Some while ago I managed to see what was wrong myself. But instead of writing it down I thought "I will remember". I did not.

Cheers!

It's difficult to say without seeing the XML in question. Could you post it here?

D'oh! Of course!

The XMLTemplater seems to have issues with it, and I suspect you don't really need it?

You are absolutely right, nice one. So the templater reads into the "comments", that has been noted now =)

Cheers!

Looks like this is a known issue. PR#66471 and PR#26656 are the reference numbers in case you need to check with us. They are flagged for fixing in FME2017, so here's hoping.

Hi @Mark2AtSafe, I'm working in 2017.1.1 (build 17650) and have also just had this issue come up, so it doesn't appear to be fixed in 2017. Again it is objecting to a commented line, which will be problematic as the XML I am trying to work with contains comments left, right and centre.

Yes, I checked and it got bumped. I've added your details and increased the priority, which is about as much as I can do to force the issue. Sorry, I know it must be frustrating. But the status is now "in progress" at least. If you don't have a good workaround then let me know and I can ask the developer what we can do to avoid the error.

Workaround is to remove the commented lines as @david_r advised below, which isn't great but it does allow the XML to be created.
