Mixins doesn't work

[sgirones]

Pasted the code and error

main.go

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/eknkc/amber"
)

func main() {
    res, err := amber.CompileDir("./views", amber.DefaultDirOptions, amber.DefaultOptions)
    if err != nil {
        log.Print(err)
    }
    log.Print(res)
}

views/a.amber

mixin a
  foo

views/b.amber

+a

err:

2014/10/17 17:22:56 Amber Error in <views/b.amber>: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference - Line: 1, Column: 1, Length: 2

Any idea?

Hi, this is a bit old but I figured this out in case anyone else is interested.

First of all, you'll need to import "a" in b, so:

views/a.amber

mixin a
  foo

views/b.amber

import a
  +a

However, one gotcha I found is that if you are extending another template and are overriding blocks, for your mixin to be visible to the blog you have to import INSIDE of the block, e.g.

extends layout
    block content
      import my_mixins
        +my_awesome_mixin("hello!")

If you try and import outside of the block, it isn't visible. I'm not sure if this is by design or not.
