Description

In https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/58928 an optimization was introduced to avoid calling "ifEmpty" or "ifBlank" if the content is not empty. However this is wrongly evaluated for "ifEmpty".

Indeed "ifEmpty" bases itself on the PHP function "trim" which considers:


    " " (ASCII 32 (0x20)), an ordinary space.
    "\t" (ASCII 9 (0x09)), a tab.
    "\n" (ASCII 10 (0x0A)), a new line (line feed).
    "\r" (ASCII 13 (0x0D)), a carriage return.
    "\0" (ASCII 0 (0x00)), the NUL-byte.
    "\x0B" (ASCII 11 (0x0B)), a vertical tab.


as empty characters. But the check that was introduced about whether to call "ifEmpty" or not checks emptiness with the "empty" PHP function which considers:

    "" (an empty string)
    0 (0 as an integer)
    0.0 (0 as a float)
    "0" (0 as a string)
    NULL
    FALSE
    array() (an empty array)


as empty elements. This is very different from "trim" (excerpts taken from the PHP manual).

I would say the proper check should be:

$functionName === 'ifEmpty' && trim($content) !== ''

Instructions for testing. Add the following TS to your template:

page.5 = TEXT
page.5 {
  value (

  )
  ifEmpty.override.cObject = TEXT
  ifEmpty.override.cObject.value = EMPTY!
  wrap = <p>|</p>
}

Without the patch, you will see a paragraph with a lot of empty spaces when looking at the HTML source. After the patch, the text "EMPTY!" appears.

That assumption is different from what is documented:

https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/master/en-us/Functions/Stdwrap.html?highlight=ifempty#ifempty

Documentation says: "Zeros are treated as empty values!"

Which means, the changes applied with this change introduced a regression
