Re: [Exist-open] Browsing http://exist-db.org/xquery/testing namespace functions doesn't really work

Hi Dan,

Please be more descriptive - is this on exist-db.org or on your local
build?  If your local build, then what eXist version?  And regardless,
if a link is broken give the broken URL, the URL of the page where you
found the link, and a description of where you found the broken link
on that page.  Otherwise we're reading your mind.  Which I will
proceed to do now.  So correct me if I've misread your mind.

Sounds to me like you're saying there's a broken link when you are
browsing the function documentation at
http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/xquery/functions.xql and try to click
on any function's "Link" to view the corresponding page in the RESTful
function browser (http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/functions/) for the
testing module.  I can confirm this problem.

The link that should work for you is
http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/functions/test.  Also, you shouldn't
get these broken links if you browse directly from the RESTful
function browser at http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/functions/.

It appears there's a bug of sorts in the non-RESTful function
documentation (http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/xquery/functions.xql)
that we should find a workaround for: modules like this whose
namespace URI doesn't cleanly line up with its namespace prefix will
lead to broken links.

Cheers,
Joe
