child template extension crashes with basic test

mike-subtilis

With a vanilla installation, I added a parent template called "test-parent" with the following contents:

TEST PARENT TEMPLATE

{#child test-child}

And a child template called "test-child" with the following contents:

TEST CHILD TEMPLATE

When I try to run test-parent, I get:

Any ideas?

Ah, just noticed the bold text in the child template description. Changing from phantom-pdf to html fixed the problem completely.

hi! it is also likely that the child template syntax {#child test-child} (jsreport special syntax) is conflicting with handlebars syntax.

since child templates are resolved after template compilation (in this case handlebars) the best way to apply child templates is doing something like this: https://playground.jsreport.net/studio/workspace/Sk8dEpFmW/11 (note the helper that outputs the child template call)

my last comment was only for clarification and you only need to do that if you hit any problem between jsreport syntax and handlebars syntax

Thanks for that other example as another way to do it.
