File Compiler modules do not work when ProcessWire namespace is present #882
Description
Short description of the issue
ProcessWire v3.0 introduced a new type of module: File Compiler modules that extend the FileCompilerModule class. It also included a new module FileCompilerTags.
This issue is about the fact that File Compiler modules do not work when template files include the ProcessWire namespace.
To illustrate with FileCompilerTags...
basic-page.php without namespace:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>styles/main.css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>{title}</h1>
<?php if($page->editable()) echo "<p><a href='$page->editURL'>Edit</a></p>"; ?>
</body>
</html>Result:
basic-page.php with namespace:
<?php namespace ProcessWire; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>styles/main.css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>{title}</h1>
<?php if($page->editable()) echo "<p><a href='$page->editURL'>Edit</a></p>"; ?>
</body>
</html>Result:
The introductory blog post, the comments in FileCompilerModule.php, and the comments in FileCompilerTags.module do not mention that it is necessary for the ProcessWire namespace to be absent. And IMO it shouldn't be necessary - a person might include the ProcessWire namespace to get code completion and documentation in their IDE and this shouldn't impact on whether they can use File Compiler modules.
