let's say I have this controller's Action:
def getPost = Action { implicit request => Ok(views.html.post("bla bla bla")) }
Now I have two layouts:
// baseLayout.scala.html:
@(title: String)(content: Html)(implicit req: RequestHeader)
<html>
...
@content
...
</html>
And
// postLayout.scala.html:
@(title: String)(content: Html)(implicit req: RequestHeader)
@baseLayout(title) { // Error: Cannot find any HTTP Request Header here
<h1>Post</h1>
@content
}
then I have this template:
// post.scala.html
@(post: String)(implicit req: RequestHeader)
@postLayout("First post") {
<div>@post</div>
}
This code does not compile. I get this error
Cannot find any HTTP Request Header here (See up)
It is like the implicit RequestHeader is successfully transmitted:
from the Action to the post template,
then from the post template to postLayout template.
But it is not transmitted from the postLayout template to the baseLayout template.
I am suspecting that it is due to the fact that in postLayout template, the implicit comes after the Html block, it might discard any implicit propagation. Apart from that I don't see any explication, I am completely lost.
