Nesting chunks throws errors in the logfiles (overload)

Summary

Nesting simple template variables and chunks suddenly start to throw errors in the logfiles (that overload hosting space quick)

Observed behavior

[[[[*pagetitle:notempty=`$pagetitleChunk`]]]]

This will work…
Because the check is before loading the chunk loadtimes are faster. We learned this like 5 year ago in the forums and it works great…

But it throws this error in logfiles lately. (Modx 2.6.5.)

......./core/model/modx/modparser.class.php : 540) Could not find snippet with name [[*pagetitle:notempty=`$pagetitleChunk`]]

Expected behavior

Not throw errors in the logfiles

There were some bug fixes for tag parsing around 2.6.x
I believe you’ll need to modify your tag logic. (Or better yet, use a simple snippet)

Thanks for your quickresponse. I now noticed that the parsing method was changed in 2.6.0.
There is even a topic about my question in the old forums: https://forums.modx.com/thread/103127/2-6-0-error-logs-could-not-find-snippet-with-name

In the setting we can set error not to show up because of this parse change:
“log_snippet_not_found”

True that a simple snippet would be better.

What about this?

[[[[*pagetitle:notempty=`$pagetitleChunk`:default=`- do nothing`]]]]

Tested it. Works in 2.6.5.
Thanks
