Test case (see the "current parent" section):

http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/oops/LitterTray/ChildOfA%E7%E3oR%E1pida?template=oopsmore&param1=1&param2=1

Adding the dynamic "=use locale()=" fixed the problem.

What exactly was fixed here?

I am trying to evaluate this fix for a hotfix release.

When I click on your test case link I get a failure message.

When I look at InternationalCharsAndIfStatement then there is no test case there. It just contains a link to an i18n named topic.

With a testcase link that fails and no way to reproduce what was fixed I think we need another round on on this bug.

Setting it to open. I assume next step comes from AT.

I will not include this in the hotfix 1 for 4.0.4

As I continued testing other things I found the TWikiVariables topic to be broken.

The browser reporting

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

Insecure dependency in eval while running with -T switch

Same error both on my test server, on ~develop and on ~twiki4.

I looked at the apache error_log and what do we find?

So the error is in the If.pm. The last change done to that was SVN 10801 10802.

Reverting it fixes the problem.

I will revert this. It also seems quite odd that in this particular module you have to require/import locale. If there is an issue it has to be resolved in another way because the 10801/10802 breaks normal use of IF.

KJL

Just checked this, and it's still a problem

CC

Made the demo active again.

It is the \w that works differently depending on whether locale is active or not.

It is not discussed here what the problem related to putting in the use locale statement is (seems like an easy fix?).

Changed the attribution to I18N to keep all related issues together

Confirming as one of many tasks that need evaluation when an I18N foswiki release is started.

This is ancient and there's insufficient information to do much with this, but it looks like a classic taint problem when using locale. I'm closing it - it will be reported again if it really is a problem after 1.2.0 beta 2.
