[patch] access to undefined property in writeOptimized.js

[Michael Frischeisen-Koehler]

When trying to build a custom layer, the following error occurs:

[exec] js: "<eval'ed string>#1(Function)#1(eval)", line 308: uncaught JavaScript runtime exception: TypeError: Cannot read property "copyright" from undefined 

This seems to occur when the "synthetic" nls files are processed in writeOptimized.js. It happens when the first i18n resource for the custom layer is processed (customLayer_ar.js). The pack property of the processed resource is undefined, hence the error occurs when trying to pass resource.pack.copyright to the compile function:

return compile(resource, resource.getText(), resource.pack.copyright, bc.optimize, callback);

Replacing this with

var copyright = resource.pack ? resource.pack.copyright : bc.copyright;
return compile(resource, resource.getText(), copyright, bc.optimize, callback);

solved the problem for me, however I'm not sure whether something else is broken that leads to the pack property not being defined.

This problem has been ​discussed in the dojo interest mailing list, however it wasn't solved.

I have the same issue and the proposed patch by micschro fixed the issue.

Without this fix I am not able to build my project.

[Martin Minka]

please could this be solved in trunk ? writeOptimized.js was reworked, but this issue is still not fixed

thank you very much

[Patch][CLA]this patch for me on current master

[Rawld Gill]

I can't duplicate the NLS problem. If it is really related to #16106, then maybe it's solved. Otherwise, please reduce to a small test case and post.

Thanks!

I have modified dojo-boilerplate project ​https://github.com/k2s/dojo-boilerplate/commit/244eeccad2825b8b03a5a701781d18f575030cfa

this should end with error:

git clone git://github.com/k2s/dojo-boilerplate.git
cd dojo-boilerplate
git submodule update --init --recursive
./build.sh

[Martin Minka]

this ticket should not be closed

could this pls. be fixed until 1.9 release ? I think, my example is easy to use and to see that this problem really exists and to test if provided patch is ok to be included to 1.9.

I will do my best to support you if there are still open questions.

thank you very much

I am seeing the same problem, however only if the output layer location is different than the source folder.

So for example, the error will occur if you try to create a layer like this:

layers: {
  "output/engine":{
     include: [
	"engine/myWidget"
     ]
}

But you will see no error if you rename your layer like this:

layers: {
  "engine/engine":{
     include: [
	"engine/myWidget"
     ]
}

Hope this helps...

I met the same situation when I try to build my project with dojo.

starting writing resources...
[TypeError: Cannot read property 'copyright' of undefined]

I'v just download the dojo 1.9.1 SDK. This patch works for me.

layers looks like this.

		layers : {
			'web/startup' : {
				include : [ 'dojo/dojo' ],
				boot : true,
				customBase : true
			}
		}

I've the same issue also with dojo 1.9.3 SDK.... Only If i patch the writeOptimized.js file i'm able to execute the custom build....

[bjoern.burger]

We have the same issue with dojo 1.9.2 SDK (also traceable with 1.10.0). The proposed patch fixed the issue. We would really appreciate if you can solve this in the next dojo 1.9/1.10 release. Thanks!

Sorry this took so long to land. It's in master and backported to 1.10.x and 1.9.x
