How to unarchive 7z format

[wendellpiez]

As documented, XML Calabash should be able to unarchive 7z format.

However, when I try it,

<p:unarchive include-filter="\.xml$" format="7z"/>

I get this error:

Fatal err:XD0036 at file:/some/pipeline.xpl:24:55: Value "7z" cannot be converted to type "xs:NCName".

Oops!

Glad for a tip or workaround. When I leave the format='7z' off the step, it complains the file is not a zip.

Off the top of my head and from the comfort of the couch, try 'sevenz'. But that’s a guess for the benefit of our time zone differences.

I thought something like that might be worth a try - will do that, tomorrow (EDT) ... thanks @ndw

@wendellpiez Does the situation change if you specify XML 1.1 instead of 1.0?

[ndw]

You want sevenZ, apparently. @djbpitt, the version of XML isn't going to matter here (and XML 1.1 doesn't allow QNames to begin with numbers, does it? I don't recall.)

Please leave this bug open to remind me to improve the documentation.

[djbpitt]

1.1 allows Unicode characters that 1.0 prohibits,but I don't remember whether it also broadens the range specifically of name-start characters.

[djbpitt]

Nope. https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#sec-xml11, production 4. Digits still are not name-start characters.

This is to confirm that sevenZ works, thanks again. It takes more than a couple of seconds to run, but XML Calabash reports seeing 2612 XML files inside my 900MB 7z archive.

Leaving the ticket open to amend the docs.
