Description Ralph 2016-12-29 19:47:21 UTC
Description:
I would like to use the FILTERXML-Function in a Basic-macro, but I always get an IllegalArgumentException. Even using the example from Leif Lodahl's blog (http://lodahl.blogspot.de/2013/12/libreoffice-now-has-built-in-xml-parser.html) does not work for me. Here's the code snippet:
Dim oFunctionAccess http://www.lipsum.com/feed/xml?amount=2&what=paras&start=Yes"
oFunctionAccess = GetProcessServiceManager().createInstance( "com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess" )   
data = oFunctionAccess.callFunction("WEBSERVICE",array("))
Lipsum = oFunctionAccess.callFunction("FILTERXML", array(data, "/feed/lipsum" ))
Using the FILTERXML-function in the spreadsheet returns the correct value. 

Steps to Reproduce:
Run macro (see above)


Actual Results:  
IllegalArgumentException

Expected Results:
Cras ultrices malesuada tellus id bibendum......


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Buovjaga 2017-01-03 19:27:59 UTC
Reproduced with Leif's example

Sub Main
svc = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess" ) 'Create a service to use Calc functions
XML_String = svc.callFunction("WEBSERVICE",array("http://www.lipsum.com/feed/xml?amount=2&what=paras&start=Yes"))
Lipsum = svc.callFunction("FILTERXML", array(XML_String, "/feed/lipsum" ))
Print Lipsum
End Sub

Did some testing with this function with LO versions on hand.

It has been working through version 5.2.0.4  but did not work in version 5.2.3.3

Do not have versions in between but that should narrow it down.
