dojox.dtl._DomTemplated templates occasionall throw error 'parser is null'

[ttilley]

My main example of this problem doesn't actually use DTL statements anywhere. Perhaps this is partially to blame for the error?

I have since switched this class to using plain old dijit._Templated.

Created a demo using the _HtmlTemplated mixin, and with widgetsInTempplate set to both false and true, in all browsers, in multiple tests, did not see this error.

Hi, I'm running into the "parser is null" problem too. I looked at the demos for dtl and it looks like the one that tests widgets in a template is not working.

I looked back in the archives and found the last working one was before the conversion to DomTemplated?.

My project is using the latest development code from svn. The project is located here: ​http://myweb.clemson.edu/~wrcook/example/

Thanks, Billy

Found this in dom.js starting at line 975. Guess that is why parser is null..

if(fn){

TODO: We need to mp ove this to tokenization so that it's before the node and the parser can be passed here instead of null nodelist.push(fn(null, new dd.Token(type, value), value.tagName.toLowerCase()));

}

1.3rc1 has been release; bumping remaining tickets to 1.4 (except for documentation/testing tickets)

[Phil Bowles]

I don't fully understand this thing yet, so bear with me. I too am getting parser is null and the DomTemplated? example doesn't work.

Are we saying here that its not going to be fixed until 1.4, or have I missed something?

wrcook: There currently aren't any node: plugins implemented, so that shouldn't be throwing an error

[wrcook]

Yes, I was wrong about that being the source of the problem. But still get an error on this test: ​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/dtl/demos/demo_DomTemplated.html

The problem is at dom.js line 962 where you call the function returned from ddt.getTag() with a null initial value. When the parser encounters a dojoType attribute, ddt.getTag returns dojox.dtl.contrib.dijit.dojoType which expects a parser as the first argument and the second line of that function calls parser.swallowNode(). Hopefully this new info can help fix this issue.

pottedmeat, you checked this into 1.4 only, correct?
