Al Bundy created VELOCITY-927: --------------------------------- Summary: Compatibility to Velocity 1.x Key: VELOCITY-927 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-927 Project: Velocity Issue Type: Bug Components: Engine Affects Versions: 2.2 Reporter: Al Bundy
After updateing from a slightly outdated velocity 1.x to 2.x wo have some issues with our existing templates. Some of them are already fixed in 2.2 but at least for now we still have one issue. This template {code:java} #set ( $nameMap10 = { }){code} results in {code:java} org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.TemplateParseException: Encountered "}" at test[line 3, column 5] Was expecting one of: "[" ... "{" ... <WHITESPACE> ... <NEWLINE> ... <STRING_LITERAL> ... "true" ... "false" ... <INTEGER_LITERAL> ... <FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL> ... <IDENTIFIER> ... <OLD_IDENTIFIER> ... "{" ... "[" ... {code} it seems that the whitespaces and newlines in this example matter. Modifying the tempalte to {code:java} #set ( $nameMap10 = {}) {code} seems to workaround this issue but it would be nice if this would be fixed in Velocity. Here is a small test-case: {code:java} @Test public void testEmptyMap() throws Exception { final String _empty_map = new StringBuilder() .append(" #set ( $nameMap10 =\n") .append(" {\n") .append(" })\n") .toString(); final Template _template = new Template(); _template.setRuntimeServices(RuntimeSingleton.getRuntimeServices()); _template.setEncoding(ModuleManager.getInstance().getDefaultEncoding()); _template.setName("test"); _template.setData(RuntimeSingleton.getRuntimeServices().parse(new StringReader(_empty_map.toString()), _template)); _template.initDocument(); final VelocityContext _context = new VelocityContext(); _template.merge(_context, new StringWriter()); } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
