Hi,
is the following behaviour a bug or does it need better documentation?
When in a directory of XML files
one file extension is not .xml but .xsl
then with
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX -u -w -i"localpath/" update.xquery only .xml-files get updates (not .xsl)
Only with
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX -u -w -i"localpath/file.xsl" update.xquery the .xsl-file does get an update.
BaseX 11.0
The documentation only says: " Opens the specified XML file, directory with XML files, or database", but not anything about file extensions. https://docs.basex.org/main/Command-Line_Options
Thanks, Daniel

Hi Daniel,
You can include .xsl files via the
CREATEFILTER option [1]:
java -jar BaseX.jar -u -c"set createfilter *.x,*.xsl" -ilocalpath update.xquery
Hope this helps,
Christian

Thank you for the clarification and the example – I wasn’t aware of this option.

Written for BaseX 11.0. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
