Cannot test a named template with a particular context

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The source XSLT: 

<xsl:template name="copy-content">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

The scenario: 

<x:scenario>
  <x:context select="//p">
    <sec>
      <p>text</p>
    </sec>
  </x:context>

  <x:call template="copy-content"/>

  <x:expect>
    <p>text</p>
  </x:expect>
</x:scenario>

The expected output is: 
<p>text</p>

But the error with the following message is thrown: "Variable $context has not 
been declared". When I look at the generated XSLT I find that the $context 
variable is generated in the default namespace, while it should be 
$impl:context:

<xsl:variable name="impl:context" select="$impl:context-doc/(//p)"/>

<xsl:for-each select="$context">
  <xsl:call-template name="copy-content"/>
</xsl:for-each>

The version of the product is: XSpec 0.4.0 Release Candidate 1.
The issue is not environment-dependent.

+1, one of our users also stumbled upon this problem.

A workaround may be to write a one-template 'runner' XSLT that imports the real stylesheet, where the single template matches on the right element and just calls the named template. The XSpec file uses the 'runner' stylesheet rather than the real stylesheet.

I've tried working around it by passing the context as a tunnel parameter.  It's horrible, and you have to do everything within the template using $context explicitly.

This is possibly a small error in the file xspec\src\compiler\generate-xspec-tests.xsl

If I replace the fragment:

<xsl:when test="$context">
   <!-- Set up the $context variable -->
   <xsl:apply-templates select="$context" mode="x:setup-context"/>
   <!-- Switch to the context and call the template -->
   <for-each select="$context">
     <xsl:copy-of select="$template-call" />
   </for-each>
</xsl:when>

with

<xsl:when test="$context">
   <!-- Set up the $context variable -->
   <xsl:apply-templates select="$context" mode="x:setup-context"/>
   <!-- Switch to the context and call the template -->
   <for-each select="$impl:context">
     <xsl:copy-of select="$template-call" />
   </for-each>
</xsl:when>

I can compile and run the XSpec without a problem.

I have no idea if this breaks something else, but it looks as though the intention in this stylesheet is to support a template call with context within a scenario.

Anyway, the schema xspec.rnc doesn't allow x:call after x:context...

[yamahito]

That's true, @AirQuick - but you should be able to achieve the same goal with nested scenario until and if they decide to fix the schema.
