Currently none of the node tokens in a widget template are expanded when rendered as part of a widget set in a block view because the data parameter of token_replace is not set in hook_block_view and corresponding theme functions. I'm attaching a simple fix which adds the "#token_data" parameter to the widgets_set_view theme function and adds the node object to the data array if the block is being viewed on a node page. This allows all node tokens (e.g. [node:nid], [node:url] etc.) to be used in widgets intended to be displayed in blocks on node pages.

This patch seems to be working for me on 7.x-1.0-beta5, though I haven't tested it on dev.

I have the same problem but the proposed patch doesn't work for me.
I have created a widget definition to share to Yammer which looks like this:

<a href="https://www.yammer.com/messages/new?status=[node:url]"><img src="http://mysite.com/sites/all/libraries/social_media/images/yamit20.png" title="Share with Yammer" />
</a>

I have plugged it into a share block but the resulting link is just:

https://www.yammer.com/messages/new?status=[node:url]

Yammer literally takes "[node:url]" but not my node url.

Well. Something strange here. The patch works intermittently. Clear the caches and it doesn't work. Allow the caches to fill and it does.
I'm a dummy. What's going on?
