SID-02388: ActionTrackerPlugin: Unescaped left brace error

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.1.0	Perl version:	5.022004 (linux)

After two days of upgrading Perl and TWiki I got (almost) everything up and running again. Except for the ActionTrackerPlugin. This shows several 'Unecpected left brace' errors:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex, marked by <-- HERE in


m/%ACTIONNOTIFICATIONS{<--HERE(.*?)}/ at ...../twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/ActionTrackerPlugin.pm line 122.

and
m/%NTF{<--HERE.*?}/ at ...../twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/NotificationPlugin.pm line 91.
Are ActionTrackerPlugin and NotificationPlugin up to date for new Perl? Or am I missing something?

Discussion and Answer

The plugin needs to be updated, see TWikiWithCurrentPerl

It turns out the ActionTrackerPlugin has been fixed in SVN, but the package has not been updated. This is now done, please install again.

Same for NotificationPlugin, now also new package uploaded.

Thanks!

Sorry, Peter. This seems to solve the problem for NotificationPlugin, but ActionTrackerPlugin has another problem: when Upgrading the ActionTrackerPlugin, the ActionTrackerPluginInstaller finds an archive ActionTrackerPlugin.tgz on this machine, and reuses the old version. I renamed the archive file to ActionTrackerPlugin.tgz.old. After that, the ActionTrackerPluginInstaller downloaded a new version from the TWiki site. Looks like a bug in ActionTrackerPluginInstaller to me, isn't it

Yes, looks like a bug. Feel free to file a report at TWikibug:WebHome

-- Peter Thoeny - 2019-01-24

Done. See Bugs:Item7858.
