Bug #100880
closed
block comments are not working as described in documentation in constants for root page
0%
Description
While updating the server from PHP 7.4.x to 8.2.3 I got an error message, when selecting "Template" on a root page in TYPO3 11.5.x and an error when saving constants from the constant editor in TYPO3 12.4.x.
The issue was caused by a comment in the constants part of the root template:
/* This is a comment This is the second line of a comment */
Corresponding to the documentation for TYPO3 11.5.x block comments this way should be allowed.
The closing "*/" at the beginning of a line caused the errors.
No issue with TYPO3 11.5.x using PHP 7.4.x so far.
Changing the comment in the following way, solves the issue:
/* This is a comment This is the second line of a comment */

- Status changed from New to Rejected
The TypoScript parser was rewritten, the syntax for multi-line comments is described in the docs for v12.4:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/12.4/en-us/Configuration/TypoScript/Syntax/Comments/Index.html#comments
As this is not a bug but a wanted behaviour in v12, I am closing this issue for now. If you have another opinion, please feel free to comment.

In the docs, you are relating to, it's stated that "... */ no longer needs to be on a single line".
To my experience it MUST NOT be on a single line.
BTW: With TYPO3 11.5.x the same issue occurs using PHP 8.2.3. So the TypoScript parser seems to be changed with version 11.5.x already. The docs for 11.5.x should therefore be changed accordingly.
