How to test bug in XSLT

[satellite03]

Hi, does XSLT dont give opportunity to test the bug ?

i do test bug in my program java,C,C++ by simply printing variables etc. printing is a big tool of debugging in java,c,c++ etc.


but how do i test my bug if my XSLT program does not work ?

what is the way ? i dont want to learn any tool specific bugging procedure because thats not absolute. if tool changes you can not test bug.

so is there any trick you do to test the bug in XSLT program.

can you please tell the way ?
thank you

Most of the problems with XSLT arise because one of the XPaths is incorrect. You can output which node you're looking at by using:

<xsl:value-of select="name(...myXPath...)"/>

Also, if you strip down the code to the bare essentials, make sure that works and then build onto it.

Other than that, use templates where you can (rather than for-each).
