strftime not found

Hello,

I'm installing a new instance of Bricolage and I'm getting an error when I try to Publish.

Here is the error:
Undefined subroutine &Bric::Util::Burner::Commands::strftime called at /usr/local/bricolage/data/burn/comp/oc_1026/partners/video/unicorn/cover.mc line 3.

Here is line 3 in the template code:
my $build_date = strftime( "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S -0800", localtime() );

Here is my PERL_LOADER setting in bricolage.conf
PERL_LOADER = use HTML::Entities; use Bric::Util::Burner qw(:modes); use POSIX; use Bric::Util::Time ':all'; use HTTP::Date;

strftime is part of the POSIX package. As you can see, POSIX is used for all templates, but when publishing it's looking for strftime in Bric::...Commands instead of POSIX. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mike Fletcher

Try:

PERL_LOADER = use HTML::Entities; use Bric::Util::Burner qw(:modes); use POSIX qw(strftime); use Bric::Util::Time ':all'; use HTTP::Date;

That will export strftime into the Bric::...Commands package.

Best,

David

No difference. My site perl is installed here:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/
And there is a folder here:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Bric/Util/Burner
But there is nothing there called Commands or POSIX or strftime.

I'm not clear on how Bricolage knows where site_perl is, but maybe that's not important for me to understand :)

Thanks,
Mike

During publishing, it's probably being run by bric_queued,
which is a cronjob or daemon running outside of mod_perl (are previews
working?),
and I think PERL_LOADER isn't loaded by bric_queued (without welcome patches).

If it isn't, it's a bug. I'm pretty sure it is loaded.

Best,

I have the same version of Bric running on two other servers,
both using bric_queued, both with the same PERL_LOADER value,
and they both work ok. But I will check my bric_queued setup
and permissions...

The best I can tell, the setup of /etc/init.d/bric_queued.sh is setup exactly the same on all servers, so I'm still at square-one.

Thanks,
Mike

If I set QUEUE_PUBLISH_JOBS = No (instead of Yes), then the error goes away.

What version of Bricolage? This does sound like the issue Scott mentioned.

Best,

Uh oh. I knew this would eventually come up. 1.10.2
But I will be upgrading. I just need the two systems to have the same version at first. Please don't scold me or tell me "just upgrade" :) The problem does not exist on another system with the same version of Bric, so there must be a fix.

Thanks,
Mike

A quick workaround should be to just change your template to:

my $build_date = POSIX::strftime( "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S -0800", localtime() );

or:

require POSIX;
my $build_date = POSIX::strftime( "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S -0800", localtime() );

Cheers,

Alex

Shouldn't matter for this. That issue was fixed in 1.8.6.

Yeah, something is funky there.

Best,

David

This works. I appreciate the workaround.

Thanks,
