Hi all

This exeption ony occurs on publish, the author instance can render the page just fine.

My component is of type wcm/foundation/components/page

This should not be happening and appears to be a upgrade bug. Please open a support ticket as you may require a hotfix.

The cause was this line of code:
data-sly-test="${list[0] !=null}"

Replaced it with:

data-sly-test="${list.size != null}"

I am not seeing adverse effects from this change. Any issues you can think of with this change?

can't you do ${list}?
