Bug Tracker

I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Summary	`\Glsxtrhiername` fails with child entries

Description

Using \Glsxtrhiername with sub-entries causes:

Glossary entry `' has not been defined

This is a result of \glscurrentfieldvalue losing its value in the recursive call. It needs to be expanded first.

Patch:

\renewcommand*{\Glsxtrhiername}[1]{%
  \glsdoifexists{#1}%
  {%
    \glsxtrifhasfield{parent}{#1}%
    {%
      \expandafter\Glsxtrhiername\expandafter
        {\glscurrentfieldvalue}\glsxtrhiernamesep
      \ifglshasshort{#1}{\glsfmttext{#1}}{\glsfmtname{#1}}%
    }%
    {\ifglshasshort{#1}{\Glsfmttext{#1}}{\Glsfmtname{#1}}}%
  }%
}

\usepackage{glossaries-extra}

\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={sample},description={}}

\glsxtrhiername{childex}.

Evaluation

Fixed in v1.49 (make sure you also update glossaries and mfirstuc as well).
