Do not throw exception for quiet references in strict reference checking mode
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-739
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-739
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 1.6.2
Reporter: Will Glass-Husain
I used strict reference checking for the first time and discovered that it
throws exceptions even for quiet references.
<input class="signupInput" type="text" id="StxtFirstNames"
name="firstName" value="$!user.firstName"/>
org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Variable
$user has not been set at layout/slide_login.vm[line 13, column 117]
This doesn't make sense to me. If a template author designates a reference as
quiet, it's explicitly not an error. We're preventing the use of this
convenient feature.
It's not a hard change to fix this. Does it break backwards compatibility if
we change this?
Incidentally, there's an identical problem for InvalidReferenceEventHandler.
I'll file a separate issue.
