-----------------------------

             Summary: with changes in 2.4 $bodyContent is harder to use in nested macros
                 Key: VELOCITY-991
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-991
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Alex


With this commit: [https://github.com/apache/velocity-engine/commit/a643483629ebe2659f732a388deb859042cf8125]

$bodyContent variable is removed from the context before handleArguments for inner macro are processed. This makes the $bodyContent unavailable to pass a parameter and also makes it unavailable in the inner macro without renaming.

Consider example:

========

#macro(inner $content)

before $content after

#end

 

#macro(outer)

    ## here $bodyContent is no longer available

    #inner($bodyContent)

#end

 

@#outer()

body text

#end

================

In version 2.3 $bodyContent from the outer macro could be used in the inner macro without passing it directly.

At the moment it needs to be renamed as a workaround:

=================

#macro(outer)

    ## rename $bodyContent i

    #set($macro.bodyContent = $bodyContent)

    #inner($macro.bodyContent)

#end

=================
