The bare `except` returning `""` in your transform(s) seems like an obvious place to start.

Log the output (checking for both Java and Jython exceptions) to see if you're getting an unexpected error.

> Consider using two except blocks, as jython’s standard Exception won’t catch pure java exceptions. Like so: import java.lang.Exception try: # something something something except Exception, e: # jython exception except java.lang.Exception, e: # java exception
