[augeas-devel] Comments with double quotes

[Mathieu Bornoz]

Here's an example with the lens xinetd.

If I add some content between double quotes in test/test_xinetd.aug :

mbornoz at kazbek:~/augeas/lenses$ git diff tests/test_xinetd.aug
diff --git a/lenses/tests/test_xinetd.aug b/lenses/tests/test_xinetd.aug
index c49496b..ae69d58 100644
--- a/lenses/tests/test_xinetd.aug
+++ b/lenses/tests/test_xinetd.aug

\n}\n\n"
 let cvs = "# default: off

+#              file in a "clever way" that only stores the differences

 service cvspserver
 {

and I run augparse :

mbornoz at kazbek:~/augeas/lenses$ augparse -I. tests/test_xinetd.aug
tests/test_xinetd.aug:8.0-.6:Undefined variable clever
tests/test_xinetd.aug:8.7-.10:Undefined variable way

I am trying to write my first lens with augeas then maybe I doing
something wrong.
