collections - Backbone Marionette: parameters undefined in view (data is defined)

Question

The data that I'm trying to pass to my template is inexplicably ignored when it gets to underscore's template renderer.

The data is available:

Yet I get an exception in the console that the param url is undefined:

Uncaught ReferenceError: url is not defined

If I drill a bit deeper, I get to some crazy-looking javascript:

It fails immediately after: __p+='\n\t\t<a href="#'+ (notice url and label are still both defined).

Normally there would be a with(obj||{}) in the compiled template. I don't see one in yours so perhaps the variable option is in use somewhere:

By default, template places the values from your data in the local scope via the with statement. However, you can specify a single variable name with the variable setting.

For example, if you:

var t = _.template('<%= x %>');

and then look at t.source, you'll see a function like this (formatted for clarity):

function(obj){
    //...
    with(obj||{}){
        //...
    }
    return __p;
}

but if you say:

var t = _.template('<%= x %>', null, { variable: 'E' });

and look at t.source, you'll see the same structure without the with block around the guts of the function.

The structure of the template function suggests that you have {variable: 'E'} somewhere so your template should be look at <% E.url %> and such instead of just <% url %>.
