[jira] [Commented] (VELOCITY-962) Unclosed #[[ is no longer an error

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-962?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17876350#comment-17876350 ] 

Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-962:
---------------------------------------

I think it would be better to error. It would be all too easy to delete a closing ]]# and have have following template syntax treated as literal.

>             Project: Velocity
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Engine
>    Affects Versions: 2.3
>            Reporter: Éamonn McManus
>            Priority: Minor

> With Velocity 1.7, if you had {{#[[ without ]]#}} then you would get an exception like this:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.ParseException: Lexical error: org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 4, column 5.  Encountered: <EOF> after : ""
>         at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.Parser.parse(Parser.java:136)
>         at org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeInstance.parse(RuntimeInstance.java:1226)
>         at org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeInstance.parse(RuntimeInstance.java:1181){noformat}
> However, with 2.3 this is just silently accepted. I think it would be better to continue to throw an exception, and better still if the exception message indicated where the {{#[[}} started.
