XML Templater Error

L
Forum|alt.badge.img

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!

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

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

Try removing the comment on line 2:

<!--Sample XML file generated by XMLSpy v2016 sp1 (x64) (http://www.altova.com)-->

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.
