I found two bugs from the otherwise excellect piece of software. I’m using the command line version of the quip 2.2.1.1 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6. For your information the bugs are:

1) -unwrapper_results -option doesn’t produce full result set in all cases
2) /type in path expression is not not parsed correctly


Details of the bugs:

Source XML (“iaa-test.xml”) (used in both cases):



The Whale
novel
The story about Mody Dick


Donald Duck
comic
Collection of Disney classics




Case 1: -unwrapped_results

XQuery (iaa-test.xql):

for $book in document(“iaa-test.xml”)/bookList/book
return

{$book/name/text()}
{$book/description/text()}


Command line:

quip -unwrapped_result iaa-test.xql

Results:

quip -unwrapped_result iaa-test.xql

The Whale
The story about Mody Dick



Command line:

quip iaa-test.xql

Results:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<quip:result xmlns:quip = “http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/quip/”>

The Whale
The story about Mody Dick


Donald Duck
Collection of Disney classics

</quip:result>


Case 2: /type parsing

XQuery (iaa-test2.xql):

for $book in document(“iaa-test.xml”)/bookList/book
return

{$book/name/text()}
{$book/type/text()}
{$book/description/text()}


Command line:

quip iaa-test2.xql

Results:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<quip:ExecutionError
xmlns:quip=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/quip/”>

quip:queryFileiaa-test2.xql
</quip:queryFile>
quip:message<![CDATA[Error (5,17): closing parenthesis missing
