For instance, this happens when these criteria are met:
1) No casting has been specified for a method in $casting.
2) A template accesses the field without any casting
3) Any casts by the template will now yield an empty object.
After a brief look at the commit history, it can seem like this bug is several years old, unless it is a side-effect of other changes in the code.
== Steps to reproduce ==
Add two methods to be accessed by a template. Make sure you do not define an entry in $casting for them:
public function Testus() {
return "Te<x>t1";
}
public function Testus2() {
return "Te<x>t2";
}
Add this to a template:
<p>
First access:<br />
"$Testus" : "$Testus.XML"<br />
"$Testus2.XML" : "$Testus2"<br />
</p>
<p>
Second access:<br />
"$Testus" : "$Testus.XML"<br />
"$Testus2.XML" : "$Testus2"<br />
</p>
Open the page in a browser, and you will get:
First access:
"Tet1" : ""
"Te<x>t2" : "Tet2"
Second access:
"Tet1" : ""
"" : "Tet2"
We see that any cast can yield an empty string.
Remove all top/bottom margins from buttons and apply to GridFieldButtonRow component. Ensure that all buttons are added to a suitable GridFieldButtonRow in ModelAdmin, SecurityAdmin and Group.
The Email class was updating the SSViewer.source_file_comments value and not
resetting it. If someone had this value set to true in their system and then
used the Email class, it seems there would be an unintended side-effect of
having the source file comments turned off.
FIX: Ensure SSViewer::hasTemplate() is aware of themes.
To do this, RequestHandler::definingClassForAction() has been created, splitting out the code that looks up the class that defines a given action into its own method. This is then overridden in Controller to look at templates.

And it didn't work then someone on IRC pointed that I need to put a '-' before values. So this works.

Since ViewableData was returning a casting helper for Link, but DataObject was
only using $this->$fieldname to set values on that casting helper, you could
not use <% if Link %> (or <% if $Link %>) in your templates because Link is not
a field, and thus had no value to be set on the casting helper, causing
hasValue to think that there was no value. Since DataObject->dbObject says that
"it only matches fields and not methods", it seems safe to have it call db(..)
to get the field spec, and not call ViewableData->castingHelper at all.
