[MapServer-users] INCLUDE a relative path file does not work in LABEL definition

[Philippe Ghesquiere]

Dear all,

Environment :
Windows : mapmanager, based on MapServer 8.0.1, GDAL 3.8.4
Linux : MapServer 8.2.0, GDAL 3.8.4

In order to make my map files more generic, I am using INCLUDE directives.
When defining a LABEL, I tried to INCLUDE some common definitions. For
example :

MyClass.map file :
CLASS
   STYLE
      ....
   END
   LABEL
      EXPRESSION ('[NAME]' != 'UNK')
      TEXT       "[NAME]"
      INCLUDE    "TextCharacteristics.txt"
   END
END

TextCharacteristics.txt file :
POSITION CC
COLOR    "#000000"
FONT     condensed
SIZE     12

I get the following error :
'load_Label(): Premature End-of-File. ;msyylex(): Unable to access file.
Error opening included file "TextCharacteristics.txt"..
Please correct the issue in the text tab'

As a workaround, I gave the absolute file path to make it work.

The documentation says that relative path could be used.

Did I make something wrong ?

Thanks for your help
