Problem using Rythm.render(File,Map) --> CompileException [variable name] cannot be resolved to a variable.

[adaviding]

Please help.

I am using the Rythm engine as suggested in one of the HelloWorld examples shown here: http://rythmengine.org/doc/tutorial.md#env

I get an error when running the last line of the unit test.

    @Test
    public void testZookeeperRythm2()
    {
        String appFolder = Application.detectAppFolder().getAbsoluteFile() + "/";
        //  Rythm requires a Map or a JSONWrapper.  Both techniques yielded the same error.
        HashMap<String,Object> map = new HashMap<String,Object>();
        map.put("tickTime", "2000");
        //  ... insert a bunch of other map.put statements here ... //
        //  The "zoo.cfg.rythm" file.
        String templateFile = appFolder+"installer/zookeeper/zoo.cfg.rythm";
        //  This line generates the error
        String renderedString = Rythm.render(new File(templateFile), map);
    }

I am definitely creating the Map correctly. I am attaching the templateFile that was used as zoo.cfg.rythm.txt. An exception gets thrown on line 343 of TemplateClass.java (screenshot templateclass).

Here is the exception:

Nevermind, I just fixed this issue. I didn't have an "@args" line at the top of my template file. So now I am very impressed with Rythm.

It should automatically declare tickTime as java.lang.Object if you don't have @args statement. So it's still an issue I need to look into
