First you should give a search of our JIRA tickets to see if the problem is already recorded.
Here's a list of all tickets about bugs, new features, and improvements, in reverse chronological order (most recent first). You may want to change the issue type, or status specifications to narrow down the list, but most commonly you would just put some search keywords into the search box.

By convention, a TDML file uses file extension ".tdml" or, more commonly now ".tdml.xml" which enables the TDML "tutorial" features to work.
Below is an annotated TDML file for a very simple example:
Code Block | |
---|---|
language | html/xml | title | myDateTimeBug.tdml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <!-- Example of a self-contained test described in a TDML file A TDML file is actually a test suite of tests, but this example includes only 1 test. Notice the namespace prefix definitions here. --> <tdml:testSuite suiteName="My suspected bugs" description="Illustrates issues found 2013-04-01.

You can alternatively put the DFDL schema in a separate file if you prefer. The target namespace of these named defineSchemas will be http://example.com. Each defineSchema has a name, so that one TDML file can contain tests which reference different DFDL schemas. To embed a schema inside the TDML you don't include the <xs:schema...> element from the schema file, nor do you need to wrap the top-level DFDL annotation objects with xs:annotation and xs:appinfo. In other words, inside a defineSchema you can directly put: dfdl:defineFormat, dfdl:defineEscapeSchema, dfdl:format (for the default format), xs:element, xs:simpleType, xs:complexType, xs:group, xs:import, or xs:include --> <tdml:defineSchema name="s1"> <!-- a named format definition - notice no surrounding xs:annotation nor xs:appinfo We reference a useful starting point format definition provided to the DFDL community by IBM.

Suppose you save the above out as a file "myDateTimeBug.tdml". You can then run it using the Daffodil Command Line Interface.
