Hi,
I read also the mail of Shinobu.
I've a file like this:
---- login.vm ---------------
#parse("login_macros.vm")#errors() #showLoginForm() -----------------------------
and in "login_macros.vm" (the file parsed) is defined "showLoginForm()".
This doesn't work.
I see "#showLoginForm()" instead of the rendered form.
#errors() is defined in VM_global_library and works well (is correctly rendered).
The problem is, I think, that I'm using #parse directive to include a file that contains macro
declarations. But as I understood reading the User Manual, #parse loads the macros but
they will be probabily available only next time that "login.vm" will be called...
The User Manual says:
"simply use the |velocimacro.library| facility to have Velocity load your VMs at startup"
My problem is that I need to use MANY files with macro declarations. This is important for
me because many developers produce macros to obtain more readable files and is good for
them storing their macros in different files (one file for each developer/module for example).
It is very difficult to share a single "macro-declarations file" in a multi-developer environment.
Using, for example, many #parse directives into VM_global_library.vm to include, at startup,
external macro files doesn't work. If it works can solve my problems. Naturally, the best is
that each developer can store his "macro_declarations files" into a folder and include (#parse)
it in every place he needs to use a macro (without modifyng a central macro file, and this is
the way #parse directive works in my first analysis of the Velocity Framework)...
I also read about this property:
file.resource.loader.path = templates
I put my "macro_declarations files" inside this folder but nothing...
Again, tanks for your time

If you put your macro at the beginning of your Velocity template, it will run the first time. The issue has to do with the sequence of processing, and has been around a long time.

Subject: macro does not load first time
Hi all,
I have a problem in using macros in a web application (I use Struts, Velocity 1.4 and
Tomcat 5 as container).
When the application Starts/Restarts macros are shown as simple text and are not processed, for example I see:
#showMyForm()
instead of the form rendered by this macro. If I do a simple refresh of the page the macro seems loading and is correctly rendered.
I made searches in the archives but, due to some problem, I can't read old mails
referring to this problem as I posted a few days ago
(subject was: "problems searching user-list archive").
Can someone help me? Is this a bug or I misconfigured some option?
Tanks for your time,
Andrea
