Hi everyone,
I just subscribed to this mailing list, although I've been using the
Template Toolkit for a while. After spending hours trying to figure out
the solution to my problems, I made some ridiculous observations that I
do not want to believe.
First some background. I use TT2 to statically generated my personal web
page. Everything went wonderfully until I ventured with XML and the XSLT
plugin. I put the entire menu structure in a menu.xml file, and also
ported some other sections. I then discovered the XSLT plugin (which I
was planning on writing myself), and started playing around with it. At
first, everything worked as usual, but as I used more template relying
on XML transformations, unexpected errors surfaced.
The ridiculous observation that I promised is the following. When using
ttree to generate the entire hierarchy, only the first template (in
alphabetical order) that uses the XSLT plugin parses successfully. For
instance I mainly have three template that use it: index.html,
news_archive.html and gallery.html. When I run ttree, only index.html is
successfully converted, and the two others fail with the following
cryptic errors (I added the "Plugin" and "File __exists" lines to
XSLT.pm for debugging):
+ index.html
Plugin:file:etc/xsl/news.xsl
File etc/xsl/news.xsl exist
+ news_archive.html
Plugin:file:etc/xsl/news_archive.html.xsl
File etc/xsl/news_archive.html.xsl exist
! plugin error - XSLT plugin failed: Stylesheet parsing error:
Couldn't create file parser context for file "etc/xsl/news_archive.html.xsl
": No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux/XML/LibXML.pm line 435.
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Template/Plugin/XSLT.pm line 27
+ gallery.html
Plugin:file:etc/xsl/gallery.html.xsl
File etc/xsl/gallery.html.xsl exist
! plugin error - XSLT plugin failed: Stylesheet parsing error:

at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Template/Plugin/XSLT.pm line 27
Now when I rename index.html to zindex.html, guess what happens:
+ news_archive.html
Plugin:file:etc/xsl/news_archive.html.xsl
File etc/xsl/news_archive.html.xsl exist
+ zindex.html
Plugin:file:etc/xsl/news.xsl
File etc/xsl/news.xsl exist
! plugin error - XSLT plugin failed: Stylesheet parsing error:
Couldn't create file parser context for file "etc/xsl/news.xsl": No such fi
le or directory at

at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Template/Plugin/XSLT.pm line 27
+ gallery.html
Plugin:file:etc/xsl/gallery.html.xsl
File etc/xsl/gallery.html.xsl exist
! plugin error - XSLT plugin failed: Stylesheet parsing error:

This time, news_archive.html works, but zindex.html does!!! What do you
make out of this? Is there some kind of destructor missing between the
invocations or something? Since I am not that familiar with Filters,
this seems really odd to me.
Thanks,
Berk Birand
