XPath string() function not working

DaSt-1986 — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 14:20:17 GMT

I'm trying to create a template-based service that sets specific content. I have the following now;

<config-template xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/config/1.0" servicepoint="location-vlan">
  <devices xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/ncs">
    <?foreach {../../location:location[code=string(/location)]/location:device}?>
    <device>
      <name>{name}</name>
      <config>
        <hostname xmlns="urn:ios">{../../ncs:devices/ncs:device[name=string(name)]/ncs:authgroup}</hostname>
        <!-- Remove the following -->
        <ip xmlns="urn:ios">
          <domain>
            <name>{string(name)}</name>
          </domain>
        </ip>
        <!-- / -->
      </config>
    </device>
    <?end?>
  </devices>
</config-template>

The 'string(name)' on the domain part is working perfectly, but on the hostname part it isn't. When I replace the 'string(name)' on the hostname part with a litteral hostname (like 'dm-vsw-bhn-001') it works perfectly.

What am I doing wrong?

Can't promise anything, but try replacing [name=string(name)] with [name=current()/name]

Try using commit dry-run | debug template to find any clues on what might not be working as expected.
