Bug #36001 for Catalyst-Controller-BindLex:

Mon May 19 05:22:10 2008 XSAWYERX [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

When using BindLex with FormBuilder (perhaps with other controllers and/or plugins), the inheritance call has to be for BindLex last: use parent qw(Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder Catalyst::Controller::BindLex); or use base qw(Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder Catalyst::Controller::BindLex); If the order is changed, it produces the following error: Caught exception in ImagineThisIsARealApp::Controller::Unit->edit "Can't locate object method "formbuilder" via package "ImagineThisIsARealApp::Controller::Unit" at /home/sawyer/code/catalyst/ImagineThisIsARealApp/script/../lib/ImagineThisIsARealApp/Controller/Unit.pm line 59." Line 59 can be anything that uses $self->formbuilder. I'm not sure if this is a bug in BindLex but the good people at #catalyst advised on reporting a bug for BindLex. I have not tested this with other plugins or controllers, and I have also not tested it with 3 or more plugins/controllers. Using Catalyst 5.7012, Catalyst::Controller::BindLex 0.03 and Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder 0.04.

Hi, Unfortunately due to the amount of crazy in ::BindLex, and the little value it actually provides we (mst and myself) are disinclined to fix it... If you can figure out the bug and fix it by all means please do, but BindLex was never intended as much more than a cool trick, and the plethora of edge cases and instabilities are usually extremely hard to debug (this one looks that way). Personally I suggest moving away from it altogether. It shouldn't be very tricky to convert a source base. Sorry, Yuval On Mon May 19 05:22:10 2008, xsawyerx wrote: Show quoted text

To both Matt and Yuval who replied to the ticket I opened: Thanks for the responses guys. On the day I filed the ticket (according to Matt's advice on IRC, me thinks) I already moved all my code to not use BindLex.
