Research direction

Reproduce the example using JinjavaConfig.withFailOnUnknownTokens, Jinjava.render, and an empty Context, then inspect how the undefined foo expression is handled. Compare the result with the FatalTemplateErrorsException path; done means the configured behavior is consistent for this undefined token case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

JinjavaConfig config = JinjavaConfig.newBuilder().withFailOnUnknownTokens(true).build();
Jinjava jinjava = new Jinjava(config);

String[] templates = new String[]{

"{% if foo == 'bar' %}baz{% endif %}"

};

for (String template : templates) {
System.out.println("Template: " + template);
try {
jinjava.render(template, new Context());
System.out.println("Works!\n");
}
catch (FatalTemplateErrorsException e) {
System.out.println("Doesn't work: " + e.getMessage() + "\n");
}
}

It doesn't throw exception as foo is not defined in the context.
