The pagespec regexes don't allow functions with no arguments.
IkiWiki.pm, around line 1035:
<pre>
$spec=~m{
\s* # ignore whitespace
( # 1: match a single word
\! # !
|
\( # (
|
\) # )
|
\w+\([^\)]+\) # command(params)
|
[^\s()]+ # any other text
)
\s* # ignore whitespace
}igx
</pre>
command(params) of course might be just command(). (See
conditional.pm: match_included.) Trying to feed
ikiwiki a pagespec without params will get you instead:
IkiWiki::PageSpec::match_glob($page, q{function}, @params) ( )
Which is completely not desired. The second + on that line should be a *.
None of the builtin pagespecs "work" with no parameters, so it's hard to
write a unit test for this. But can we at least write a helpful note in
case the user is given to rebuilding the wiki by hand. --Ethan
