#18385 closed Bug (invalid)

firstof doesn't deal well with empty "safe" values.

Reported by: Ned Batchelder Owned by: Martin Winkler
Component: Template system Version: 1.4
Severity: Normal Keywords:
Cc: Triage Stage: Unreviewed
Has patch: no Needs documentation: no

Description 

>>> from django.template import Context, Template
>>> t = Template("Value: {{ value|safe }}, Firstof: {% firstof value|safe 'Hello' %}")
>>> t.render(Context({}))
u'Value: , Firstof: None'

Here, {{ value|safe }} produced an empty string, but value|safe inside of firstof produced None.

I suspect this is because SafeString (and SafeUnicode), being user-defined objects, are always true, regardless of the data they wrap.

Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

according to the documentation of the ​firstof tag:

Outputs the first variable passed that is not False. Does NOT auto-escape variable values.

So the safe filter is unnecessary, because the results have to be safe anyway.
