I'm finally upgrading a project which was using velocity 1.3.1 to
1.6.4 (I might go with something newer, but I wanted to try to keep
things as simple as possible for a first try without adding the 1.7
new features, and Cayenne is using 1.6.4 right now).
One thing that hit me right away was that tabs are no longer allowed
between a directive and the left paren:
#set<tab>( $amountString = "Pay In Full" )
now dies with the following, and the error context is misleading.
ERROR [main 04-01 09:45:42] velocity:
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.ParseException: Encountered "=" at
line 190, column 25.
Was expecting one of:
<RPAREN> ...
"," ...
<IDENTIFIER> ...
"{" ...
<WORD> ...
<STRING_LITERAL> ...
<INTEGER_LITERAL> ...
"[" ...
<FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL> ...
"{" ...
"true" ...
"false" ...
The same thing happens with #if<tab>. Replacing the tabs with spaces
causes the error to go away.
Is this a known issue with 1.6.4, or something that is a regression
for all recent versions of velocity?
I've been using whitespace between the directive and the left-paren to
provide indentation to make templates more readable, so this affects a
lot of code. Replacing it with spaces could eventually happen, but
I don't have something automatic at hand to do it.
Thanks!
