Package: seed-webkit2
Version: 4.0.0+20161014+6c77960+dfsg1-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I wrote a simple script (hello.js) that only contained: print('Hello');
I then ran the command: seed hello.js
I saw as output:
{"message":"Unable to make argument 1 for function: build_filenamev.
\n","name":"ArgumentError"}
Hello
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried several other scripts, copying the code from examples.
I also tried running the command: seed -e "`cat hello.js`"
* What was the outcome of this action?
All scripts produced the same error message before executing correctly.
However the command seed -e "`cat hello.js`" did not produce any error message,
but rather produced the following output:
Hello
[undefined]
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected seed to execute scripts correctly without any initial error message.
I expected the command seed -e "`cat hello.js`" to produce the output that I saw
* Conclusion: seed appears to handle command line arguments wrongly when
they are filenames of scripts to run
NOTE: I have just upgraded the package. This bug existed in the earlier version
as well as in the current version.
