Have you carefully checked that all the whitespace in the .fb file are
spaces, not tabs? The perldoc in CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File says
"The configuration format steals from Python (ack!) which is sensitive
to indentation ..." and in my experience, they weren't kidding!

Re: [Catalyst] trouble with Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder: form does not render correctly (no fields)
Can you post your .fb, template and controller code so we can see what
the problem might be?

Of course, though all I did was trying the example from the pod, nothing
fancy.
code:
!file: Infocenter/lib/Controller/Akte.pm
package Infocenter::Controller::Akte;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw(Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder);
# [snip]
sub anlegen : Local Form
{
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
my $form = $self->formbuilder;
if ( $form->submitted ) {
if ( $form->validate ) {
#send mail
#forward thank you
return $c->response->body("VALID FORM");
}
else {
$c->stash->{ERROR} = "INVALID FORM";
$c->stash->{invalid_fields} = [ grep { !$_->validate }
$form->fields ];
}
}
}
1;

Fellow nerds,
I've got a problem with Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder. I'm doing
exactly as advertised in the pod but the form refuses to render, or
better said is its fields.
The submit button is rendered with the correct caption (which is
different from "submit"), hence the .fb file is found and loaded. And
when i peek into $self->formbuilder->{fields} turns out the array is
there, but empty.
So the formbilder object is not correctly initialized, but I have no
idea why. I've tried some variations, like "Form(explicit/path) and
different line endings (cr, lf, crlf) of the .fb file. no avail.
i'd be grateful for suggestions.
thank you

[Catalyst] trouble with Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder: form does not render correctly (no fields)
Fellow nerds,
I've got a problem with Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder. I'm doing
exactly as advertised in the pod but the form refuses to render, or
better said is its fields.
The submit button is rendered with the correct caption (which is
different from "submit"), hence the .fb file is found and loaded. And
when i peek into $self->formbuilder->{fields} turns out the array is
there, but empty.
So the formbilder object is not correctly initialized, but I have no
idea why. I've tried some variations, like "Form(explicit/path) and
different line endings (cr, lf, crlf) of the .fb file. no avail.
i'd be grateful for suggestions.
