XQuery 3.1 Map Syntax

[jmeischner]

It seems that xqlint does not support the map syntax of XQuery 3.1.

19 |function _:schema-render-table-prepare-rows-jf($Items as element()*, $Schema as element(schema),$Context as map(*))
                                                                                                                       ^ lexical analysis failed
while expecting '(:'
after successfully scanning 1 characters beginning at line 19, column 112:
...(*))

Is it possible to add this feature to xqlint?

This feature was added in @wolfgangmm's fork for eXist: https://github.com/wolfgangmm/xqlint/commit/2b0479d9007b32de173194c8a5c39fad50a5f483.

@joewiz is there a feature you would like to see merge in the main package? Let me know.

[jmeischner]

Thank you for your answer. Is there a reason that this feature is not merged back into this repo?

I created the sublime linter package for this linter and it's much easier to install it simply by using npm than it seem to install the forked one.

[jmeischner]

Is there anything I can do to push this topic?

[joewiz]

@wcandillon I would certainly support the idea of merging this feature into the main xqlint.

@jmeischner I'm sure @wolfgangmm would be happy to see the feature pulled into the main xqlint project. Would you be able to prepare a PR?

[wcandillon]

Yes please guys go for it! Definitely would love to see it in the main xqlint. I even had a proof of concept for this at https://github.com/wcandillon/xqlint/pull/48

[jmeischner]

@joewiz Unfortunately I don't think that I'm the right one to prepare a PR because I do not know where to start to accomplish this. I am not really experienced with the GitHub mechanisms =(

Hi, Any news on this? Was this ever added to xqlint?

I'm using the XML Tools for Visual Studio Code extension, which seems to be based on this project, and I run into the same issue.
