wix xsl transform to conditionally remove components

I'm creating a transform for WiX's heat utility that needs to suppress the harvesting of folders matching a specific name (.PayloadData) under the tree being harvested.

I can easily get it to suppress the Directory and Component elements but the ComponentRef element is proving tricky.

The folder is called .PayloadData and this successfully suppresses the Directory and Component elements:

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']/*" />

I tried something similar for the ComponentRef element but it matches everything.

<xsl:template match="wix:ComponentRef[//wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']/wix:Component[@Id=@Id]]">

I think @Id might be ambiguous in the xpath expression but I don't know how to tell it that the ComponentRef's Id attribute is trying to match the Component's Id attribute.

Here's the input:

You will probably get help sooner if you add an example of an input document into the question.

Yes, // means search the entire document. I'll post the sample documents shortly. I need a before and intended result document. For those that don't know, heat applies the transform in memory so I don't get the before document unless I remove my transform from the flow.

"Yes, // means search the entire document." Exactly. So if the condition is true, it will be true for alll ComponentRef nodes.

P.S. If you need to match the ComponentRef and Component based on common id, define and use a key.

I'm creating a transform for WiX's heat utility that needs to suppress the harvesting of folders matching a specific name (.PayloadData) under the tree being harvested.

I can easily get it to suppress the Directory and Component elements but the ComponentRef element is proving tricky.

The folder is called .PayloadData and this successfully suppresses the Directory and Component elements:

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']/*" />

I tried something similar for the ComponentRef element but it matches everything.

<xsl:template match="wix:ComponentRef[//wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']/wix:Component[@Id=@Id]]">

I think @Id might be ambiguous in the xpath expression but I don't know how to tell it that the ComponentRef's Id attribute is trying to match the Component's Id attribute.

Here's the input:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Yes, // means search the entire document. I'll post the sample documents shortly. I need a before and intended result document. For those that don't know, heat applies the transform in memory so I don't get the before document unless I remove my transform from the flow.

"Yes, // means search the entire document." Exactly. So if the condition is true, it will be true for alll ComponentRef nodes.

P.S. If you need to match the ComponentRef and Component based on common id, define and use a key.

Thank you for your help. I now have the answer. Key was the key (pun intended):

  <xsl:key name="ComponentsToSuppress" match="wix:Component[ancestor::wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']]" use="@Id" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:ComponentRef[key('ComponentsToSuppress', @Id)]" />

This allows me to suppress the Component and ComponentRef of items appearing under a Directory named ".PayloadData" regardless of where it appears (or how often it appears).

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:ComponentRef[key('ComponentsToSuppress', @Id)]" />

This allows me to suppress the Component and ComponentRef of items appearing under a Directory named ".PayloadData" regardless of where it appears (or how often it appears).

Thank you for your help. I now have the answer. Key was the key (pun intended):

  <xsl:key name="ComponentsToSuppress" match="wix:Component[ancestor::wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']]" use="@Id" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:Directory[@Name='.PayloadData']" />

  <xsl:template match="wix:ComponentRef[key('ComponentsToSuppress', @Id)]" />

This allows me to suppress the Component and ComponentRef of items appearing under a Directory named ".PayloadData" regardless of where it appears (or how often it appears).

I believe your 2nd template is redundant. Also. // doesn't do anything in a match pattern.

Yeah, I think you're right. I was thinking about it after I'd posted it. I'll try it to make sure it doesn't change the outcome and update the answer accordingly.
