Nathan Bubna updated VELOCITY-552:
----------------------------------
Attachment: Velocity552TestCase.java
Here's a simple test case for the issue.
> Lost $ within literal blocks when not followed by alpha
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELOCITY-552
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-552
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: Windows XP or Solaris, JDK 1.4.2_10
> Reporter: Dan Ertman
> Fix For: 1.6
>
> Attachments: Velocity552TestCase.java

> This is probably the same root cause as #355 (lost #s).
> I was happy to find the #literal() directive in the user guide, because I
> intend to output SH script from Velocity, which could otherwise get messy.
> Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, $s are being gobbled.
> Consider this VTL fragment:
> #literal()
> export $VAR=$(echo $testme)
> #end
> Run through evaluate, this spits out
> export $VAR=(echo $testme)
> which isn't very literal (and is a compilation fault in SH). Even more odd,
> #literal()
> export $VAR=\$(echo $testme)
> #end
> outputs
> export $VAR=\(echo $testme)
> Did some further testing on it, and if the $ isn't followed by alpha, it gets
> gobbled, but only inside a literal block.
