Template.dynamic appears to be broken

[dweldon]

Ui.dynamic has been replaced with Template.dynamic. However, this:

+Template.dynamic(template=template)

Gives me this error: Expected template or null, found: undefined

{{> Template.dynamic template=template}}

Works correctly if it's in an .html file, but not when it's in a .jade file.

[erasmus]

can you give a hint where this can be fixed?

[erasmus]

I can't get it to work here. Do you have a working example where you put a real template for "template"? Thanks.

Since meteor-jade is just an other syntax than spacebars, I test this package by writting two templates one using spacebars and the other using jade, and by checking that both template compile to the exact same JavaScript code, which is the case here. Do you have an example of template inclusion not working with jade but working with spacebars? (Otherwise it's probably a bug somewhere else).

Here is an example, that works well with spacebars, but does not work in jade.

Works well in HTML:
cover.coffee

templateName = 'passwordForm'
Blaze.renderWithData Template.cover, {templateName: templateName}, $('body')[0]

cover.html

<template name="cover">
  {{> Template.dynamic template=templateName}}
</template>

login.jade

template(name="passwordForm")
  p Some form definition here

When I change cover.html to cover.jade:

template(name="cover")
  +Template.dynamic(template=templateName)

I have this in console:
Uncaught Error: Expected template or null, found: undefined

Error thrown here (spacebars-runtime.js:23):

  var view = Blaze.View('Spacebars.include', function () {
    var template = templateVar.get();
    if (template === null)
      return null;

    if (! Blaze.isTemplate(template))
      throw new Error("Expected template or null, found: " + template);

    return template.constructView(contentFunc, elseFunc);
  });

templateVar.get() function returns undefined. But I do not understand why.

It seems that there is a problem that @dweldon, @rashagen, @applecat, and @acemtp encounter, but unfortunately I cannot reproduce it. Clonable repository anyone?

[dweldon]

Upgrading to 0.2.9 fixed it for me.

[mquandalle]

Hum, maybe that's why I cannot reproduce it, and why the test pass :)

[applecat]

Thanx, upgrading to 0.2.9 really fix this issue.

Sorry sorry never mind, I am a dork. Case issue: Template not template.

DISREGARD

Sorry to bump a closed issue but I am having this problem (0.4.1).

+template.dynamic(template='hello')

I tested it in a fresh meteor app with the initial html file converted to jade:

Uncaught Error: Expected template or null, found: undefined

The crazy thing is this works:

+UI.dynamic(template='hello')

I am on METEOR@1.1.0.2
