I'm getting an undefined local variable error [1] in this function at the
ASF::SVN.svn_ line
def get_template(url)
Dir.mktmpdir do |tmpdir|
tmpdir.untaint
ASF::SVN.svn_('checkout', [url, tmpdir], _,
{depth: 'empty', user: $USER, password: $PASSWORD})
# Dir.chdir tmpdir do
# IO.binwrite(name, @file.read)
# ASF::SVN.svn_('add', name, _)
# ASF::SVN.svn_('commit', name, _, {user: $USER, password: $PASSWORD})
# end
end
'This is a sample template with Name: __ Date: __ Metadata: __'
end
I'm sure it's just a big misunderstanding but where does the _ come from? I'm
looking at proxy.cgi line 184.
