Thanks for the reply. I already have some code written in Groovy that creates the required tables in xwiki syntax, and I am attempting to convert it into a deployable Macro. This is why I am trying to return text such as "|=one|=two" in the xwiki syntax. As you say, I could convert all the code to use TableBlock etc, but this seems like a lot more work than just using the existing code as-is and returning the current xwiki syntax output. When I create the RawBlock I am explicitly setting the syntax to be xwiki rather than xhtml: new RawBlock("|=one|=two",Syntax.XWIKI_2_0) I would then have expected this to be rendered into a table header once the Macro had returned the output. Is this not how a RawBlock should be used? If not, what is the purpose of setting the syntax on the RawBlock? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how this area works? Is it possible to output text in xwiki syntax (e.g. "|=one|=two") from the execute method of the Macro and have the output rendered into a table? 10 January 2013 12:40 Thomas Mortagne [[email protected]]:
Looks like you are mixing several things here.
RawBlock job is to provide something that should ends up in the output syntax as it is but the xhtml renderer can't support something that is in xwiki syntax so it skips it which is why you don't get anything.
When you say that you want a WordBlock("|=one|=two") by definition this is not going to be interpreted since you already said this was a word so whatever the renderer it will get a event saying that you want to print something that exactly looks like "|=one|=two" and the renderer should make sure it will looks like this (the html renderer will escape < and > when you have some for example etc.)
If you want your macro to return a table you should explicitly return a table which mean use TableBlock/TableRowBlock/TableCellBlock/TableHeadCellBlock.

I am following the guide for creating a Macro by extending AbstractMacro: http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ExtendingMacro although I have implemented it in Groovy rather than core Java.
I have managed to get the example to successfully build with maven and for the resulting JAR file to work with my xwiki Enterprise 4.4 install.
I then changed the content of the execute method to:
List<Block> result = Arrays.<Block> asList(new WordBlock("|=one|=two")) return result
And added a new .test file:
.runTransformations .#----------------------------------------------------- .input|xwiki/2.1 .# Test the macro in standalone mode .#----------------------------------------------------- {{releases artifactIds="test1,test2" server="test3"/}} .#----------------------------------------------------- .expect|xhtml/1.0 .#----------------------------------------------------- |=one|=two
This test passed when running the maven build, but produced the text output "|=one|=two" when deployed to xwiki, rather than rendering a table. I then changed the execute method to:
List<Block> result = Arrays.<Block> asList(new RawBlock("|=one|=two",Syntax.XWIKI_2_0)) return result
with the same test as above. This time the test does not pass, and fails with the error:
releases1.test [xwiki/2.1, xhtml/1.0](org.xwiki.rendering.test.integration.RenderingTest): expected:<[|=one|=two]> but was:<[]>
When deployed to xwiki there is no output either. As such, I can't seem to get RawBlock to actually output my pre-formatted xwiki code.
Am I doing something wrong with my use of RawBlock? How can I get xwiki syntax content (e.g. a table) to output from the execute method so that a) the tests pass and b) the content is rendered into a table?
