My test was with directory-creation=automatic. You also get the same behavior (XDMP-DOCNOTFOUND ) with directory-creation=manual-enforced.
I think this makes sense, although the documentation could certainly be more clear about it ;) -Danny -----Original Message----- From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com [mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com] On Behalf Of Michael Blakeley Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2014 9:33 AM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] possible bug w/directory deletion With 7.0-3 on OSX and directory-creation=manual, I don't see a XDMP-DOCNOTFOUND error either. xdmp:describe(doc("/test/")); xdmp:describe(xdmp:document-properties("/test/")); xdmp:directory-create("/test/"); xdmp:describe(xdmp:document-properties("/test/")); xdmp:document-delete("/test/"); xdmp:describe(xdmp:document-properties("/test/")); => () () xdmp:document-properties("/test/") () I think that agrees with what Mike described. The first two expressions return (), verifying that I didn't have a pre-existing document or directory at '/test/'. Then we see a properties element, verifying that the directory was created. Then xdmp:document-delete succeeds where the docs say it won't. Afterward there's no directory property at '/test/'. -- Mike On 28 Aug 2014, at 08:45 , Danny Sokolsky <danny.sokol...@marklogic.com> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I am not seeing this in 7.0-3.
