klish/clish: set startup timeout tag using internal VAR

Question

I'm trying to set klish startup timeout tag using a defined internal VAR but it's not working.

<VAR name="IDLE_TIMEOUT" 
    help="idle timeout value" 
    dynamic="true">
    <ACTION>
        echo -n "60" 
    </ACTION>
</VAR>
<STARTUP view="myview" 
    timeout="${IDLE_TIMEOUT}">
    <ACTION>
        cat /etc/banner
    </ACTION>
</STARTUP>

It seems that the variable it not evaluated before calling clish_shell__set_timeout function.

The timeout tag is working fine if I use a fixed value instead of a variable, e.g.

<STARTUP view="myview" 
    timeout="60">
    <ACTION>
        cat /etc/banner
    </ACTION>
</STARTUP>

I'm running klish 1.7.1.

https://src.libcode.org/pkun/klish/src/2.2/doc/klish.md

Do you have any suggestion or any workaround to make it work?

Thank you!

I tested also klish 2.2.0 which has the same issue. – neoben Jun 08 '21 at 08:28 — neoben, Jun 08 '21 at 08:28

It seems that the timeout field is not implemented to be set dynamically, it's static and supports digits only.

For more reference take a look at the related issue on the official repository:
