Question

Downloaded iReport-4.6.0 for Linux and when creating a new report via the File->New... menu, the new report is not shown in the preview, but the error message cvc-comp

Answer 1

I just suggested my coworker who also run into the problem this:

sed -i 's/ uuid="[^"]*"//g' $(find * -name \*.jrxml)

I don’t normally use sed(1)-i but she’s on GNU/Linux so it wasn’t a problem here. The more professional Unix way of solving this is:

find * -name \*.jrxml -print0 | while IFS= read -d '' -r file; do
    ed -s "$file" <<-'EOF'
        1,$g/ uuid="[^"]*"/s///g
        w
        q
    EOF
done

(These four spaces are tabs, otherwise it won’t work, and you need mksh(1) or another shell that can read NUL-separated input.)

You could also use Perl:

find * -name \*.jrxml -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/ uuid="[^"]*"//g'

Or something like that, anyway, depending on your needs, your xargs(1), etc. ;-)
