Tcl Source Code

pkgIndex.tcl file created with only comments.
See also comments by LV at http://mini.net/tcl/3388.

Error message in -verbose mode indicated "dir" was not
defined at the time of invoking "source".

An adequate workaround was to add the following line to
proc pkg_mkIndex in package.tcl, just before the large
$c eval {...} block:

$c eval [list set dir "$dir"]

This line defines "dir" in the slave interpreter's
namespace, prior to invoking the "source" command.

the log attached indicates something
wrong with the rc.tcl file you're trying
to index.  Apparently it expects a
variable "dir" to be defined before
the file is [source]d ?

Without the rc.tcl file contents, I can't
be more specific about how to correct
things, but I don't see anything here
suggesting a bug in [pkg_mkIndex].

Your suggested fix is effective, but
misplaced.  The indexer is not the
place to put workarounds for bugs
in the code being indexed.

Concur on likelihood of pilot error.

Attached file, 1222788_ScenarioResults.txt, shows before and
after behavior.

this is probably pilot error.

To be sure, please report exactly
what arguments were passed
to [pkg_mkIndex], along with
relevant details about the file(s)
being indexed, and the reports
from -verbose.

Willing to consider improvements
to [pkg_mkIndex], but for quick
success, you're almost certainly
better off ignoring the command
completely, and just creating your
index script directly.
