Hi all,

I am trying to generate a preserved region from an EGL template.

myTemplate.egl:

[%
@template
operation MyObject myOperation() {
%][%=out.startPreserve("//", "", "myRegion", true) %]
blah
[%= out.stopPreserve() %][%
}
%]

myFile.egl:

[%
import "myTemplate.egl"
This is my file
[%= myObject.myOperation() %]
More of my file
%]

But the above example returns a NullPointerException:

Error encountered whilst processing template. (generate-files.eol@21:14)

...and so on...

When looking around with the debugger it seems that OutputBuffer does have 'context' set, resulting in the NPE when an instance method of 'context' is called.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it not possible to create a protected region from a EGL @template operation?

Hi Maarten,

I've reproduced this using the following minimal example.

[%=t()%]

[%
@template
operation t() {%]

[%=out.startPreserve("//", "", "myRegion", true)%]
[%=out.stopPreserve()%]

[%
}
%]

Could you please file a bug report?

Cheers,
Dimitris
