[jira] [Commented] (SLING-8167) Using sling.home as a variable leads to runtime errors

["Robert Munteanu (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8167?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17055430#comment-17055430 ] 

Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-8167:
----------------------------------------

I personally would like for {{sling.home}} to be automagically available as a variable so I can use it without any preparation. However, I would be OK with Karl's suggestion of catching these kinds of problems as logging a warning message (or an error if we're sure nothing good can come out of it).

> I tried using ${sling.home} as a variable but replacement did not work and ended up failing at runtime when the property was used to try and create a directory, e.g. - failed creating directory "/${sling.home}/foo".
> I was able to work around by declaring a ${sling.home}: null variable but I wonder whether we can have better handling of such scenarios.
