Description of problem: After running the create command for publican, the publican.cfg file contains blank properties, which mean the book cannot be built. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the command: publican create --name Test --lang en-US --version 3.0 --edition 1.0 --product JBoss Developer Studio --brand JBoss 2. Build the book with the command publican build --formats html,html-single,pdf --langs en-US 3. Build fails Actual results: The following error is produced: Invalid format for docname. Value (ARRAY(0xa4dc728)) does not conform to constraint ([^a-zA-Z_\-0-9.]) at /usr/bin/publican line 366 Expected results: The build succeeds Additional info: The parameters causing the error in the publican.cfg file are: docname version edition product
This was cause by empty fields being added to the publican.cfg file. Modified code to delete empty elements correctly. The real bug is probably in Config::Simple which should not be choking on empty fields, I'll try and track it down when I get some free cycles. Also note that your productname field in Book_Info.xml is probably not what you want. This is due to the white space, so you need to add quotes around the name. e.g. --product "JBoss Developer Studio" Cheers, Jeff.
