Thanks Nick
I actually discovered that there was a dumb, but it was not the
question: it was me :)
Due to a well hidden bug in my code, the list expansion appeared not to
be working. It took me some time, some runs of cf-agent -v, and an
incremental set of changes in a bundle, to discover that the failing
part was an assignment which contained an unset variable. That, in turn,
made everything fail in a mysterious way.
Summing up, the right way to expand a slist contained in an array
element is actually:
"list" slist => { "@(array[$(selector)])" } ;
However, if you plan to use list as a parameter for a bundle, you'd
better prefix the list expansion with the bundle name, e.g.:
"list" slist => { "@(testbundle.array[$(selector)])" } ;
and then use, e.g.
...
edit_line => editbundle("testbundle.list") ;
...
otherwise, depending on what you do with list in that editbundle, things
may not work properly.
Ciao
