Xml parsing error

Unread post by Andrew Pianin »

Hello!
Maybe somebody has come across the folowing issue:
We configured a build server (OS Win Server 2019 Standard), started building our documents via cmd there. Trying to open the DOCX output we see the errors regarding styles:
Unfortunately, the <name> file cannot be opened due to problems with its contents. Xml parsing error
Location: Part of: /word/styles.xml , Row: 2, Column: 100650

Meanwhile we do not have such problems building the same documents via cmd locally on a workstation (OS Win 10 Pro). We use the same scripts (cmd, ini) and DOCX templates on both the build server and the local workstation.
Does anybody have an idea what can be wrong?

Hi Andrew,

This error is generally an error in the DOCX template used to generate the Word file. Are you really using the same copy of the template in both instances?

Alexander, these versions are used:
  • build server - Version 10.0.3 Build 7453
    workstation - Version 10.0.1 Build 7421
Tim, we use git. The templates are applied from the main repository. They are the same.

Would it be possible to retrieve the complete project including the DOCX template to test it here?
Let me know if you need an FTP upload link or if you can email it to support (at) ec-software.com

Hi Andrew,

You can also email a download link to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) if the Zip package is too large to attach or contains scripts (which would cause it to be blocked by the email server).
