data-sly-call: expression evaluates to null

Hi all,

After migrating from 6.0 to 6.2 we are facing issues in opening some pages. They are being opened with an error:

Error during include of component '/apps/xyz/components/page/groupsmapping'

Error Message:

org.apache.sling.api.scripting.ScriptEvaluationException: org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly.SightlyException: data-sly-call: expression evaluates to null

Below is the HTML for it

groupsmapping.html:

 


    <head data-sly-use.clientLib="${'/apps/acs-commons/sightly/templates/dhlm.html'}"  data-sly-use.clientLib="${'/libs/granite/sightly/templates/clientlib.html'}">
        <div data-sly-include="/libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp" data-sly-unwrap></div>
        <style data-sly-call="${clientLib.head @ mode='all'}" data-sly-unwrap></style>
        <style data-sly-call="${xyz.vendor @ mode='all'}" data-sly-unwrap></style>
    </head>
    <body>

        <div data-sly-resource="${ @path='groupsmapping', resourceType='xyz/components/content/groupsmappingconfig'}" data-sly-unwrap></div>
    </body>
</html>

I just commented out the data-sly-call tags and the pages started rendering. Need to debug more for root cause.

I see twice a declaration of 'clientLib', but no declaration for 'xyz' or 'dhlm'

Hello,

We also had similar issues going from 6.1 to 6.2. The issue was with some of our custom components / views, and the dev team had to update their code package to be compatible. Only pages using specific components or views had the issue. I would recommend turning on additional logging if the existing logs don't have enough detail to know which component / view is causing the issue, or you can't narrow it down otherwise.

We have a similar problem while migrating from AEM 6.1 JSP to Sightly in 6.2 - It is a simple call to the clientLib - Keeps on saying error in line no 1 in page.html

"data-sly-call: expression evaluates to null"

Here is my headlibs.html

<sly data-sly-use.clientLib="/libs/granite/sightly/templates/clientlib.html" 

    data-sly-call="${clientLib.css @ categories='app.header'}"/>

Can you please help?

Are all components failing (like Geometrixx)?

Can try to split the markup into two lines?

Just tested this on 6.2 SP1, works fine.

Any luck with finding the root cause?

Worked for us. There was an error in our UI engine. The CSS file that get some generated was empty. Works fine now. Just try loading some other CSS file and assign to a tag. We traced the error back to the CSS file
