### v1.1.5 - Critical Twig Filter Bug Fix (2025-12-31)
#### Session 8: Twig Template Compatibility Fix
**Critical bug fix** resolving template rendering errors when other plugins use Twig.
**The bug:**
Plugin crashed with `Twig\Error\SyntaxError: Unknown "esc_attr" filter` when rendering the product selector template on the frontend.
**Root cause analysis:**
1. **Filter vs Function mismatch**: The template used filter syntax (`{{ product.name|esc_attr }}`), but WordPress escaping functions were only registered as Twig **functions**, not **filters**
2. **Plugin conflict**: When another plugin (e.g., WooCommerce Tier and Package Prices) bundles its own Twig installation, it may parse our templates with its Twig instance
3. **Missing registrations**: That external Twig instance didn't have our custom filters registered, causing the "Unknown filter" error
**Error log evidence:**
From [logs/fatal-errors-2025-12-31.log:5](logs/fatal-errors-2025-12-31.log#L5):
```text
Uncaught Twig\Error\SyntaxError: Unknown "esc_attr" filter in "product-selector.twig" at line 26
```
The backtrace showed the error originated from `/wp-content/plugins/wc-tier-and-package-prices/vendor/twig/twig/`, proving another plugin's Twig instance was parsing our template.
**The fix:**
Added Twig filter registrations alongside existing function registrations in [includes/Plugin.php:88-91](includes/Plugin.php#L88-L91):
```php
// Add WordPress escaping functions as Twig filters
$this->twig->addFilter(new \Twig\TwigFilter('esc_html', 'esc_html'));
$this->twig->addFilter(new \Twig\TwigFilter('esc_attr', 'esc_attr'));
$this->twig->addFilter(new \Twig\TwigFilter('esc_url', 'esc_url'));
```
This allows both syntaxes to work:
- Filter syntax: `{{ product.name|esc_attr }}`
- Function syntax: `{{ esc_attr(product.name) }}`
**Files modified:**
- includes/Plugin.php:
- Lines 88-91: Added TwigFilter registrations for WordPress escaping functions
- wc-composable-product.php:
- Lines 6, 22: Version bump to 1.1.5
- CHANGELOG.md: Added v1.1.5 release notes with technical details
**What works (v1.1.5):**
Everything from v1.1.4 plus:
- Product selector template renders without errors ✅
- Compatible with plugins that bundle Twig (e.g., pricing plugins) ✅
- WordPress escaping works with both filter and function syntax ✅
- No more "Unknown filter" errors ✅
**Key lessons learned:**
1. **Filter vs Function Registration**: In Twig, `{{ value|filter }}` requires `TwigFilter`, while `{{ function(value) }}` requires `TwigFunction` - they're not interchangeable
2. **Multiple Twig Instances**: WordPress plugins may bundle their own Twig installations that can parse other plugins' templates
3. **Template Syntax Matters**: Using filter syntax in templates requires filter registration, even if function registration exists
4. **Defensive Compatibility**: Register WordPress functions as BOTH filters and functions for maximum compatibility
5. **Error Log Investigation**: Backtrace reveals which Twig instance is parsing the template, crucial for diagnosing multi-plugin conflicts
6. **Template Location Doesn't Matter**: Even though our template is in our plugin directory, other Twig instances can still parse it during rendering
**Debugging approach:**
1. User mentioned Twig bug in CLAUDE.md "Bugs found" section
2. Checked `logs/fatal-errors-2025-12-31.log` and found the exact error
3. Analyzed backtrace showing external Twig instance from another plugin
4. Examined template and found filter syntax (`|esc_attr`)
5. Checked Plugin.php and discovered only function registrations existed
6. Added filter registrations alongside function registrations
7. Committed fix with detailed explanation
**Impact:**
This was a **critical bug** preventing the plugin from working on sites with certain other WooCommerce extensions installed. Users would see a blank page or error when viewing composable products.
**Status:** Fixed and committed to dev branch (8fc0614)
