Question

error in browser:

Software error:

Can't call method "takeOutBlocks" on an undefined value at /path/to/my/twiki/lib/TWiki.pm line 2463.

Almost exact identical install elsewhere on the same machine works perfectly. TWiki.pm are identical to the latest TWiki4 rel SVN update except for some patches to support %DEFAULTWEB% (my Main web) and %MAINWEB% (my User web, where the users "live".), and some s/=pod=/=pod/g and s/=cut=/=cut/g bits. Both 'TWiki.pm's are the same, everything under lib/twiki/ is identical except for Contrib and Plugins.

I get the same error for the putBackBlocks function.

The logs are just as unhelpful (from my POV), they contain the same errors as stated above.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Without being able to see your TWiki.pm, it's impossible to guess. Try attaching it here. Note that the TWiki.pm at the head of SVN is constantly changing, so you have to give a version number and not just "latest".

Yeh, duh me :), makes sense. Though further looking suggests it's not TWiki core, but a plugin, I'm in the process of investigating right now.

Aha! Seems to be SectionalEditPlugin. I have the one from current SVN (TWiki 4 release repo, $VERSION = '$Rev: 11270 $';). My TWiki.pm has $VERSION = '$Date: 2006-08-21 12:10:32 -0400 (lun, 21 aoû 2006) $ $Rev: 11354 $ '; and $RELEASE = 'TWiki-4.1-beta1';. Last updates must've broken SectionalEditPlugin (i.e., it's borked). All my other plugins that had enabled before the breakage are enabled except for SectionalEditPlugin.

I've re-opened it because it's happening with more than one plugin. See LDAPPasswordChangerPluginDev for some notes I left there. They're relevant.

One month passed, closing this question as unanswered.
