Comment #3 on issue 557 by tudor.gi...@gmail.com: FAMIXComment wrongly initialized http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=557
Please stop for a second before committing anymore in the meta-model. These are core packages that should be handled with care.
The fixes you propose do not go in the right direction. Having
iniitialize signature = 'nosignature'
might make your test green, but it is not the intended behavior. At the very least it should be a constant, but at the moment we would like to know if something is not initialized when loading a model. So, I do not want the instance variable to be initialized by default.
In any case, your use case is to get printString working, which is a good thing. But this should be done by guard conditions.
