Will Glass-Husain commented on VELOCITY-739:
--------------------------------------------
In the interests of conservatism, I'm going to leave this alone. If more
people want it speak up.
> 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.
