TypoScript - PageTS not loaded if a bracket exists in the key
Added by Christian Hackl almost 4 years ago.

Description
After updating from TYPO3 7 to 9 I noticed the following:
PageTs will not be loaded if a bracket exists in the key.
Strangely explained I try to show it with an example:
TCEFORM {
tt_content {
pi_flexform.ttaddress_listview.sDISPLAY.settings\.displayMode.addItems {
mykey(something) = label
}
}
}
RTE {
default {
preset = rte_theme
}
}
Then everything after this "mykey(something)" is no longer loaded.
If you remove the brackets, the remaining TS (here RTE) is loaded.
(yes brackets in the key are not good - but I think I should at least be logged or something like that)
- Category set to TypoScript
- Status changed from New to Needs Feedback
If those parenthesis worked before as a name I would consider it a bug or unwanted side effect as it does not conform the rules of typoscript.
Any opening parenthesis before an equal sign should open a multiline value, which ends with a line starting with a closing parenthesis (after white space), while the rests of these both lines are ignored.
Maybe the handling of whitespace as a seperator of object-/property-names and operator has changed and the splitting (and interpreting) is done different than before.
An explaining error message about unbalanced parenthesis would be required.

Round brackets '(' are NOT valid keys of an identifier, since they are used for multiline assignments. The docs says valid chars are a-z,A-Z,0-9, but in practice colon : is used, too.
foo (
multiline
value
)
Unsure what the old parser does here, but the new parser creates mykey identifier with value 'something' and "= label" is a comment.
This won't change. Don't use these chars in identifiers. Won't fix.
It was not about the fix, but that you get an error message at all or a corresponding entry is written in the error_log or something.
I don't know the parser now, but in general I would consider characters that are not allowed in certain places, but are still somehow taken into account as here, as a question of security, or not?
