Item972: Undefined subroutine &Foswiki::Form::Select::TAINT called

I built a small app with forms in TWiki. Two days ago I switched to foswiki and I get the following error, when I try to edit an existing Topic or add a new one: Undefined subroutine &Foswiki::Form::Select::TAINT called

It refers to /lib/Foswiki/Forms/Select.pm, Changing line $str = TAINT($1); to $str = $1; "fixed" the Problem.

Any Idea whats wrong? Other Webs, other Forms, even other Forms in the same Web work well.

setting to urgent until we know that its not a Foswiki issue, or until we give up waiting for details.

Christian, as the URL isn't a real one, can you give us the form definition too?

TAINT is defined in Assert.pm, and this module must be imported for a TAINT call to work. It isn't imorted in this case, which strongly suggests that this code is not exercised during unit tests. The code should be exercised by a select+values.

Confirmed and fixed.
