[jira] [Commented] (TEXT-127) Detect when a variable is unknown in
StringSubstitutor
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-127?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16561261#comment-16561261 ]
Sebb commented on TEXT-127:
---------------------------
Are you saying that you want different behaviour for the following cases?
String templateString = "This is underfined with default: ${undefined.number:-1234567890}.";
String templateString = "This is underfined without default: ${undefined.number}.";
If not, then a custom StringLookup that raises an exception when the variable is unknown will work fine.
Or are you asking for something more like the shell :?text modifier?
Please provide some sample code and expected results.

> Currently, StringSubstitutor is not replacing a variable that is unknown. It would be nice to define the behavior in this case and to allow raising an exception.
> A workaround is to define a custom StringLookup that raises an exception when the variable is unknown but this prevent from using the default value feature from StringSubstitutor
