-------------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade to v2.0 causes parser failures
Key: VELOCITY-891
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-891
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Steve O'Hara
We are upgrading from v1.7 to v2.0 but have come across a problem almost
immediately.
Our templates can contain a lot of Javascript with references to things that
begin with the '#' character e.g. Kendo JS templates. These used to be ignored
by 1.7 but now they are causing parser failures as follows;
{{#set ($JQId = "#" + $Utils.getJQuerySelector($SparklineElementId))}}
{{org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Failed to parse String
literal}}
It is complaining about the \{{"#"}}
I can't find any directive that switches this off or a way to circumvent it.
A workaround is to replace the '#' with {{$HASH}} but we have thousands of
these and no way of fixing the end-user commited templates.
