245869 - no error message when select attribute of xsl:copy-of is missing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XSLT, enhancement)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

transformiix does not show an error when I use xsl:copy-of without giving a
select attribute; it seems to apply a part of the transformation then.

xalan on the other hand tells me exactly what was wrong.

looks like it should error. Could we get a testcase?

ok, I'll attach a testcase shortly.

the testcase was "load the xml file with the xml-stylesheet in the browser"
(should've mentioned that...), should that error be visible there?

hmm... works now on this linux machine... (although with an unhelpful error
message, well I didn't really expect a good error from mozilla anyway)

I'll check again when I'm at a windows machine again (probably tomorrow)

huh. I absolutely can not reproduce this anymore. no idea what happened.

for reference:  I had seen this on winxp home 2004052307.

the error message I get now is "Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT
stylesheet failed."
