Testcase 6 : xhtml() causes renderer to hang

Asked by Luc Saffre on 2011-05-16

When I call ``do text from xhtml(HTML)`` with the following HTML code:

<div class="section" id="titel">
<h1>Title</h1>
<div class="system-message">
<p class="system-message-title">System Message: WARNING/2 (<tt class="docutils">&lt;string&gt;</tt>, line 2)</p>
<p>Title underline too short.</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
Title
====
</pre>
</div>
</div>

then appy.pod enters into an endless loop in xhtml2odt.py (HtmlElement.getConflictualElements()):

                    while visitParents:
                        try:
                            nextParent = env.currentElements[-i]
                            print nextParent # I added this line to make the endless loop visible
                            res.insert(0, nextParent.setConflictual())
                            if nextParent.elemType == 'para':
                                visitParents = False
                        except IndexError:
                            visitParents = False

I guess this is a bug...
You may use the files at
http://code.google.com/p/lino/source/browse/#hg%2Ftests%2Fappy%2F1
to reproduce this (though I didn't check whether the test.py works without Lino installed).

Hi Luc,
Indeed, the counter (variable i) allowing to go upward from parent to parent in the list of currently walked tags is not incremented.
What happens if, after line

nextParent = env.currentElements[-i]

you insert this one:
i += 1

?
Cheers
Gaetan

Ha! The most stupid bugs are the most difficult to find! Thanks for your answer.
