Description Aleisha Amohia 2015-06-24 04:51:30 UTC
When using the syspref search bar, any search will trigger this warn:

Use of uninitialized value in goto at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/admin/preferences.pl line 57
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2015-07-02 16:12:30 UTC
It comes from the null option of the OpacRenewalBranch pref.
Comment 2 Marian 2018-01-17 07:48:09 UTC
I also have this problem did you have found a fix for it ?

Bug 14446: Workaround to resolve uninitialized value in goto warning

Forcing both GetTab calls to list context resolves the warning.
A workaround, not a real fix.

Test plan:
Search for something in the syspref text bar.
Without this patch, you will have a warn: Use of uninitialized value in goto
With this patch, you won't.

Comment 5 Marcel de Rooy 2018-07-06 05:41:31 UTC
Thx Aleisha.

For QA:
The workaround is based on the fact that YAML::Syck contains this code:

sub Load {
    if (wantarray) {
        my ($rv) = YAML::Syck::LoadYAML( $_[0] );
        @{$rv};
    }
    else {
        @_ = $_[0];
        goto &YAML::Syck::LoadYAML;
    }
}
