An error occurred during PT compiling. Please see more details in log files.

Teamsite 6.7.2 - Solaris 10

I can preview my pages fine.

In one particular branch, I'm having trouble generating my template. I keep getting this vague error message:

An error occurred during PT compiling. Please see more details in log files.

When I check my iwutild_cmdout.log:

Could not process template: /.iwmnt/default/main/nlm/WORKAREA/leti/templatedata/internet/main/presentation/nlm.tpl

Try debugging like this: iwpt_compile ... -ocode ****.ipl; ****.ipl

When I run:

# ./iwpt_compile.ipl -pt /default/main/nlm/WORKAREA/leti/templatedata/internet/main/presentation/nlm.tpl -iw_include-location /default/main/nlm/WORKAREA/leti/ -iw_pt-dcr /default/main/nlm/WORKAREA/leti/templatedata/internet/main/data/accessibility.dcr -ocode /tmp/acce.ipl

There's nothing really in the acce.ipl. It's our typical error that we currently have on Production as well.

** I can generate other templates in other branches fine. For some reason, this particular .tpl won't generate.

*** I have open a ticket with Interwoven and awaiting their response.

Any help is appreciated.

Can't call method "getArea" on an undefined value at /tmp/acce.ipl line 152.

What is at line 152 ?

Can you post ?

Andy, thanks for your quick response.

I don't believe 'getArea' is the issue with my template because it's an old error that's in our current production environment. I know we should address those errors.

Line 152 is 'getArea':

#get outputfile directory path, derive workarea and directory path from it

my $ofile = new NLM::TeamSite::File iwpt_get_ofile_name();
$workArea = $ofile->getArea();
$fileName = $ofile->getFilename;
$prodURL = NLM::Utils: Smiley Tongue

roductionURL($workArea, $fileName);
#
# Metadata
#

Thanks.

You are *probably* right, but to make certain, add -ofile to the iwpt_compile, something like

-ofile /default/main/nlm/WORKAREA/leti/someout.html

That is NOT what is breaking the generate because it -ofile is valid when you generate or preview.

Assumign that that is not the issue, start putting print statements in the TPL within iwperl tags.

Try to figure out where it is failing

There is no good way to debug these except brute force. Consider yourself lucky, I was fixing an issue yesterday & basically I hade to remove chunks of code until I was able to find the offending line of code.

Removed everything from the presentation template:

Still getting an error.

try your post again.

show the error after you use the -ofile flag.

Thanks.

Since we don't know what NLM::TeamSite::File does, it's hard for us to know if $ofile actually supports a method called getArea() - so this could be causing issues.

Another thing that might be causing issues is if you are doing any kind of logging within your PT (via Log::Log4perl or any other mechanism). I've seen cases where the permissions on the log file are such that it works just fine when run from the command line because the process is running as "you" - but when run through the GUI, the process owner may be someone else (e.g.: iwui, SYSTEM, etc.) and the permissions on the log file may prevent that user from appending to it.

I created a datacapture.cfg with only one item and no formAPI:

[html]

NLM/type.

Title
Title to display in browser's Title bar.

[/html]

And an empty Presentation template:

[html]

<br>Presentation Template<br>

[/html]

Still getting the error on regen.

Also tested the Intranet datacapture.cfg in the NLM branch, templatedata/internet/main. Same error.

nipper

There are so many errors in what you posted, I do not know if I can count them.

Looking specifically at the TPL there are 2 glaring issues.

< iwperl > needs 2 things, 1 is valid Perl (note: Presentation Template is not valid Perl, second it needs a close tag < /iwperl >

Thanks for your help Andy and Fish.

Ok. I figured it out. I forgot to copy over my iwtemplates.cfg and change our custom perl script. Doh!
