Hi list,
since my XQuery's share some common utility functions, I created a "global.xq" file to contain those functions, and the actual scripts import that file using
import module namespace red-db="red-db" at "global.xq";
However, BaseX then looks for that file in the working directory where it was started. Is there any way to configure that behaviour, e.g. to look into the HTTPPATH folder the script is located in, or maybe to make the lookup relative to the script that contains this command? Currently I always have to cd to the HTTPPATH folder before starting BaseX.
I am using the current git master version.
Kind regards,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,
well, I guess, this is the default Java behavior, and AFAIK BaseX does not provide such an option (but I need to check).
However, you may find that using the packaging API [1] is a much more convenient way of managing XQuery module libraries.
Greetings,
Dimitar

This is just a simple xq file with four functions, me being the only user. I don't really want to learn a whole new API and whatnot to get it imported.
The relevant code seems to be in QueryParser.io:
IO fl = IO.get(fn);
// if file does not exist, try base uri
if(!fl.exists()) {
final IO base = ctx.base();
if(base != null) fl = base.merge(fn);
}
// if file does not exist, try query directory
if(!fl.exists() && file != null) fl = file.merge(fn);
However, both ctx.base() and file are null for the query run though
/rest?run=name.xq, so it does not find the other file.Kind regards,
Ralf

Ralf,
thanks for the observation. I've got some ideas how to fix it properly.
Getting back to you,
Christian

Written for BaseX 6.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
