I've setup a few test pages which demonstrate the weird behavior of this tag. I'm not sure how much of this is intended, probably none of it.
These are on iunicycle.com:
- /www/test/nosrc --> holds a master tag <master>
- /www/test/src --> holds master tag <master src="@master@">
- /www/test/nullsrc --> holds master tag <master src="">
- /www/test.tcl --> some script which produces 'some text hi ho hi ho'
Another set, with the same files in in /www/notest/,
check out:
This returns an error.
Strange thing is that if the src="", that is okay, the default-master is eventually found as if just the master tag was there with no src attribute. However, if the @master@ variable is equal to the empty string, somehow, some way, the templating system chops off the last directory and looks for something below. In the test directory, this is great, because it finds test.tcl, but in the notest directory, an error is generated. Actually it isn't great, since it shouldn't be looking there, or looking for that file!
Bizzzarro two: the master tag is only executed once per thread. I put log statement in the master tag, and it only logs once for each url/thread combination.
