Oak index definition generator XML output is blank

I see a similar issue is asked on this forum, so I thought I'd raise my problem here to hopefully find the owner/manager of this tool.

We deploy indexes as .content.xml files, so having XML feature working in this tool is very helpful & important - as it stands it doesn't work and forces us to construct indexes manually.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open https://oakutils.appspot.com/generate/index 
2. Using default query, click 'Generate' button
3. Click "XML" tab to view outpuit

Expected results:
3. index generated and formatted as XML

Actual results:
3. XML content is empty (blank)

Hi, 

Something may be broken with the tool, but it seems the JSON tab is working. That tab will show you how the index definition should be created. Although it's not the most convenient way, it is still a feasible way to create the index. I think you could create an issue in this GitHub account to report the problem: https://github.com/chetanmeh/oakutils/issues

 

Hope this helps

    Thank you Esteban - that's exactly what I'm doing now. Generating the index in JSON format and then manually translating it to XML. 

    It's very inconvenient and prone to human error. Since I (and likely others) would greatly prefer a working tool, then I will raise an issue on that link that you shared - appreciate your help!

    This tool is replaced with a new tool here: https://thomasmueller.github.io/oakTools/

    It has a separate section to generate the XML from the JSON index definition.
