Re: [xproc-dev] <none>

Hi Ahmed,

You might also check the Oxygen support forums and/or documentation.
Your issue does seem to be with the way you're invoking the pipeline. I
believe that in an Oxygen transformation scenario using ${ask()} is
meant to cause Oxygen to prompt the user for input, in this case the url
of the source file, probably via a file chooser dialog. Perhaps somehow
when prompted you provided the path to a directory instead of to a
source file?

If you're really trying to have Oxygen get a value from an environment
variable, I think using ${env(VAR_NAME)} in the transform scenario does
that, but definitely check the Oxygen docs/support forums/support for
details.

Regards,

David
