Description
Hello,
In velocity for now, we can't use the '$macro.myVar' to retrieve the result of a child macro. Because of this limitation we must use a global variable (which as a risk of conflict with an other part of code which use the same variable.
Let's take an example:
#macro(myChildMacro $return) #set($return = $NULL) #setVariable("$return" "my new value") #end #macro(myParentMacro) #myChildMacro($macro.childResult) $macro.childResult #end #myParentMacro()
This code won't work, so we have this result
$macro.childResult
This is because we call 'myChildMacro' with the variable '$macro.childResult'. To make it working, instead we must use a global variable like '$childResult' which is in the global context.
