Re: Template Toolkit - Output Template Name / Filepath as HTML Comment

Although i am quite sure this is possible (see Template::Provider) you probably do not want output these comments in your production environment as you will give clues away to any would-be attackers. Instead, why not just grep or ack for the markup in question? I have found this to be a very workable solution for tracking down templates. No need to add more code to your base.

UPDATE: this might work for you, but i still recommend using grep or ack:

use strict;      
use warnings;                
use Data::Dumper;            
use Template;                

my $file = 'src/greeting.html';
my $vars = { message  => "Hello World\n" };

my $tt = Template->new;
$tt->process($file, $vars);

my ($found) = keys %{ $tt->{SERVICE}{CONTEXT}{LOAD_TEMPLATES}[0]->{LOO
+KUP} };
print "$found\n";

Just touch any file to src/greeting.html relative to the location of this script.

Thanks for the assist.

To grep for parts of the markup is possible, but a lot slower
when compared to just reading the template names inline.

Basically, what I'd hope to see is something like this:

...
<!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'template/en/bug/bug_edit.html.tmpl' -->
<ul>
  <li># lots of markup ....</li>
</ul>
<!-- END OUTPUT from 'template/en/bug/bug_edit.html.tmpl' -->
<!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'template/en/global/footer.html.tmpl' -->
...

Strictly for development of course, none of this clutter would get anywhere near production ;-)
