Upgrade StorageVersion 4.0.5: variable "note" can't be tested
Hi,
the following IF-test doesn't work correctly with the new version 4.0.5:
Settings: only the variable "note" is empty (no entry)!! The test should go to ELSE...
<if variable="author note" match="all">
<text value="should not be this"/>
</if>
<else>
<text value="should be this!"/>
</else>
The test without other vaiables is correct:
<if variable="note">
<text value="With these settings, not this!"/>
</if>
<else>
<text value="It's this one!"/>
</else>
Ciao, Berni

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Perhaps there is an error in the info-part (?), because you are right: when i installed the style, i got the hint like: the file is not a validate CSL 1.0.1 style and it could work uncorrectly (the error is in germsn-lang.) but with zotero 4.0.4 it worked correctly.

validates, both in the validator and when installing.
You need a citation element.
The problem is the matching bug, the validation works fine.
That test creates two functions, bundled as a list. The list of two items is passed into the "all" function that evaluates them -- which receives a list with only one item in it. There isn't any code between those two steps, which has me wondering whether this might be a bug in the Firefox JavaScript engine.
A test built with the style runs fine in the Rhino JavaScript engine that I use to test the processor. That also makes me suspect the Firefox JS engine as the culprit.
When I get this sorted out, this thread will be closed. :-)
Technical run-down: In new code, when the style is built I'm doing preemptive execution, to encapsulate the test. The problem is that the attributes are evaluated in @bpreuche's test in a different order in Rhino (the testing engine) and in Tracemonkey (the Firefox JS engine). That's the bug in the processor: once it's fixed, it will come right.
