In this way, the test seems like you are purely testing for the absence of functionality. I think it is more motivating if you contrast it with the desired behavior:

This is also why I suggested "No Masking" for the test name. There was a problem hiding this comment.

The only reason I caution this approach is that it still does not define what to do in the case that you have a key of the form There was a problem hiding this comment.

At the moment the spec does not define that. data:

I think the spec defines it (in the human-oriented text), but does not test for it explicitly. If you follow the human-oriented text to the letter, I agree with you that the output should be the empty string. I also think that the other tests already imply this; they just don't enforce it. The reason I'm hesitant to add your original version of this test, is that it actively prevents implementations from being more lenient towards their users as an added service. I understand that this is exactly what you are trying to achieve, but I'm not yet convinced that this will make the world a better place. Many implementations have extras outside of the spec, and I think this is a good thing in general. Surely, mustache.java is not harming anyone by allowing a fallback to a property by the name There was a problem hiding this comment. Choose a reason for hiding this commentThe reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more. What we did that caused us to run into this was the following: we have a java backend that performs some templating action, and we wanted to provide a python command-line utility that did the same for users to test our templating service. The problem is, this difference means that we cannot do that; moreover, the proposed spec fix would not have resolved this issue for us either. In a sense, the java implementation follows the letter of the spec, but not the spirit. If it is intended that keys not have periods in them, then why not specify that and enforce it? It's not the end of the world for us; we can change the data that we use. However, the undefined behaviour in the specification means you can't at the moment have a java and python client produce the same output on the same input. Is it the end of the world? No. Can it cause people issuse? Yes. There was a problem hiding this comment. Choose a reason for hiding this commentThe reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others.

I was waiting for a reply by @bobthecow, but it probably escaped his attention and then it escaped mine as well. However, we can decide without his input because @spullara and I already agree. Concluding, we will merge this. I can do it in the week of June 17-21. There was a problem hiding this comment.

I find this name and description misleading; dotted names are valid keys and they should be parsed. I think you are actually meaning to say something like this:

@simon-ess another suggestion to avoid the impression that dotted names are never valid keys:
