Ternary operator with undefined variables #13

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
<%= message ? message : 'No message' %>

When the variable message === undefined, the compiler throws an exception, even 
though a regular IF statement should just evaluate the expression to FALSE.

By the way, this executes correctly:

<%= typeof message != 'undefined' ? message : 'No message' %>

I am using the ejs_1.0_developer release (downloaded two days ago) as a Node.js 
module. [Cygwin environment running on Windows 7]

Sorry for the double-post. Google threw a 502 Server Error at me on posting so 
I refreshed the page thinking it was not posted the first time.
