I haven't looked, but I would assume the XQTS may define the context item for that test, no?

I was assuming that this definition only affect the test query itself, not the loaded module.

Otherwise such a test would rather be pointless

It would be useful to identify the test in question


This is the test:

   <environment name="complexData">
<source role="." file="../fn/data/complexData.xml" validation="strict"> <description>Document containing some nasty cases for fn:data.</description>
         <created by="Oliver Hallam" on="2009-02-27"/>
      </source>
<schema uri="http://www.cbcl.co.uk/XQueryTest/complexData"; file="../fn/data/complexData.xsd"> <description>Schema containing some nasty cases for fn:data.</description>
                  <created by="Oliver Hallam" on="2009-02-27"/>
          </schema>
   </environment>

   <test-case name="cbcl-module-004">
<description> Test that the context item can be used in a library </description>
      <created by="Oliver Hallam" on="2009-07-29"/>
<modified by="O'Neil Delpratt" on="2013-03-18" change="Corrected case of directory name 'ModuleImport'"/>
      <environment ref="complexData"/>
<module uri="http://www.xqsharp.com/test/context"; file="ModuleImport/contextitem-lib.xq"/>
      <test>
import module namespace context="http://www.xqsharp.com/test/context";;
        count($context:item/node()/*)
      </test>
      <result>
         <assert-string-value>6</assert-string-value>
      </result>
   </test-case>

It would be useful to identify the test in question so we can see what its 
dependencies are, and whether the test results have been challenged. Presumably 
the test metadata identifies an environment which includes a definition of the 
value of the initial context item for tests using that environment.

The basic principle is that the initial context for execution of a query is 
implementation-defined, but in some cases there is quite a strong expectation 
that the query engine will provide an API that makes it user-defined; 
certainly, the design of QT3 assumes that implementations will provide a way to 
set the context item for a query.

The test suite documentation says this: "Also: XQuery and XPath do not explicitly require 
implementations to provide a way for all values in the static and dynamic context to be set. For 
example, an implementation that does not allow any collations to be defined (other than the Unicode 
Codepoint Collation) would be technically conformant; so also would be an implementation in which 
the default collection is always an empty sequence. There is therefore an implicit dependency, when 
values are set in the environment, that the implementation allows such values to be set. An 
implementation that cannot set the context as required should behave in the same way as if a 
dependency has not been satisfied, ideally reporting the test as "notRun" with a 
reason."

In other words, it is recognized that some tests are dependent on features which not 
every implementation is required to provide. One of these is the ability for a calling 
application to set the initial context item. Where tests depend on optional features that 
an implementation does not provide, the implementation should not run that test, and if 
results are submitted to W3C, the result for that test should be documented as 
"notRun" with a reason.

Hi,
what is the value of the context item in a variable declaration of an module in 
XQuery 1?
Since the spec says "The context item, position, and size in the dynamic context of the 
initializing expression have initial values as described in C.2 Dynamic Context Components." 
where it says "Default initial value = none", it should be undefined.

But the new XQTS has a test

  module namespace context="http://www.xqsharp.com/test/context";;
  declare variable $context:item := .;

where it is then tested for not undefined...
