xmlvalid documentation error?

[Kouichi_C_Nakamura]

According to this https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.9.2/users/comlinetools/xml-validation.html, the following should work:

Code: Select all

tiffcomment /path/to/file.ome.tiff | xmlvalid -


But as far as I tried in Windows 10, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: - (The system cannot find the file specified)
   at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
   at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Unknown Source)
   at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
   at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
   at loci.formats.tools.XMLValidate.main(XMLValidate.java:81)


The hyphen does not seem to be working.

I confrimed that the following works:

Code: Select all

tiffcomment "/path/to/file.ome.tiff" | xmlvalid "/path/to/file.ome.tiff"


Is the example in the documentation an error? Or have I misunderstood something?

Hi Kouichi,

looking at the code, can you try omitting the hyphen? If so, this is (primarily) a documentation bug.

Bang on! I'm now editing the documentation a bit. So soon I will make a PR including this fix.

BTW, although the documentation says this will perform both the extraction and validation, I only see the output of xmlvalid in Command Prompt console. Is this the expected behavior?
