[jira] Created: (VELOCITY-448) Can't define macro in separate file
and use it in another file.
Can't define macro in separate file and use it in another file.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-448
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-448
Project: Velocity
Type: Bug
Environment: WindowsXP
Reporter: Colbert Philippe
I my first file called "myDefinition.vm" , I difined a trivial macro
#macro ( myMycro $p1 $p2)
$p1 $p2
#end
In my second file, I parse and call my macro:
#parse( myDefinition.vm")
#myMacro( "apple" "orange)
The result is always a single line:
#myMacro( "apple" "orange)
Velocity does not recognize the definition of my macro. I tried putting the macro is the same file and that works. But when the definition from another file does not seem to work.

[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-448) Can't define macro in separate

Henning Schmiedehausen commented on VELOCITY-448:
-------------------------------------------------
Velocity is not a Macro Processor period.
What you want to achieve is done not by loading the Macro files through #parse() but by defining them in the velocity.properties. You add velocimacro.library properties to your config file and off you go. You don't even have to parse/include the macro files in your templates anymore.
Macros are no tag libraries. Velocity is not JSP. Velocity Templates are not Java Server Pages. Don't try to transfer these concepts to Velocity. They don't fit most of the times. Not because one this is better or worse. But because Velocity is not JSP.
Nathan pointed you at this. Please read and understand the difference beween the run-time and the parse-time of a template.
As Will wrote, this is something that we should improve on. It is not trivial though and we must be careful not to break older pages that rely on that behaviour.

Colbert Philippe commented on VELOCITY-448:
-------------------------------------------
Without the capability to define macros in many separate files, one can't build modular systems with Velocity. In short Velocity is not yet an macro processor that is scalable and can be used in a big software projects.

As discussed on the dev list, I see this as an important "todo" for 1.6. I've reopened Velocity-362 as a reminder of this.
