Forum OpenACS Q&A: Error on StaticPages filesystem search

If I run this a second time (without restarting nsd) then it works fine. However, if I restart nsd, the first time I run the filesystem scan, I get the same behavior.

Looking at the use of sp_sync_cr_fs_times in static-pages-init.tcl and static-pages-procs.tcl, it seems related to the testing for existence of the nsv_array itself.

I wrote a very simple test of this and found some weird results. I am very new to tcl and aolserver. Am I misunderstanding the basic use of the nsv_array exists function? Here is how I tried to verify existence of an nsv_array:

set nsv {tmmsp_sync_cr_fs_times}ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl declared tmmsp_sync_cr_fs_times.
"

nsv_unset $nsv

ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl SET array $nsv.
"
    nsv_array set $nsv [list]

if { ![nsv_array exists $nsv] } {
ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl nsv_array $nsv does NOT exist.
"
} else {
ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl nsv_array $nsv DOES exist.
"
}

ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl SET KEY for array $nsv.
"
    nsv_set $nsv foo 1

if { ![nsv_array exists $nsv] } {
ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl nsv_array $nsv does NOT exist.
"
} else {
ns_write "FOO-TMM.tcl nsv_array $nsv DOES exist.
"
}

Anyway, it appears to me that the nsv_array doesn't appear to exist until a key is set in the array itself??

Sorry I shoulda mentioned that I'm on OACS 4.6.1 tarball and AOLserver 4.0beta4.
