TypeError: e.match is not a function

Code:

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const { xsltProcess, xmlParse } = require('xslt-processor');

const readFile = filePath => {
  return fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, filePath));
};

const xmlString = readFile('./Sample.xml');
const xsltString = readFile('./Outbound.xsl');

const outputString = xsltProcess(xmlParse(xmlString), xmlParse(xsltString));

console.log(outputString);

Error:

Hi, Solved for me by adding encoding parameter into the readFileSync call like this

const readFile = filePath => {
    return fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname,filePath),"utf-8")
}

I had the same error and solved it by explicitly converting the input parameters to string:

const transformXml = require('xslt-processor');
transform = transformXml.xsltProcess(
    transformXml.xmlParse(String(xml)),
    transformXml.xmlParse(String(xsl))
);

I'll considered this as solved for now. Feel free to reopen if any modification is required.
