dijit._Templated escape sequence for quote replacement fails with compound values

[James Burke]

I want a token that should skip the double-quote escaping. It is called i18n.foo, so I reference it in the template like so:

${!i18n.foo}

However, that does not work. The key is not found. I believe this issue is at line 44 in dijit._Templated._stringRepl():

if(key.charAt(0) == '!'){ value = _this[key.substr(1)]; }

I believe for my key above, it is trying to look for _this["i18n.foo"], but I really want _this.i18n.foo.

Perhaps switching to something like this would work:

if(key.charAt(0) == '!'){ value = dojo.getObject(key.substr(1), false, _this); }

Makes sense, that's how dojo.string.substitute does it (which is the code path that we follow when there is no ! mark).

Feel free to check that in if it's working for you.

Fixed in [15646].
