Unable to update translation template, configuration error?

[esbrandt]

cactus messages:make

produces the 2 folders

• e
• n

instead of just one folder en

This is needed for updating the translation template b4 uploading to transifex.
Would like to have the website translated at launch, at least for some languages.

Downgraded to your version pip install cactus==3.0.2

cactus messages:make
still gives...

...
processing locale e
processing locale n

Tried to change the branch to no avail

Could not find an related issue on their gh page.

Did you get this working?

[esbrandt]

I thought, but have not :(
For every char in the default locale config (https://github.com/mixxxdj/website/blob/website/config.json#L3)
cactus messages:make
produces a folder, ergo if locale= en-us, i get 5 folders.
For other configs (e.g. config.de.json) it do not produce an *.po output at all.

[esbrandt]

Got it, this works

• pip uninstall cactus (removes cactus 3.3.2)
• pip install cactus==3.0.2 (installs cactus 3.0.2/ downgrades Django-1.6.11->Django-1.5.5)
• cactus messages:make
• Updated content in both folders en& de-DE

[rryan]

Oi, ok glad you got it figured out. I'll try upgrading to the latest Cactus at some point to see if I can reproduce.

[esbrandt]

Doo, still present win latest Cactus

$ pip show cactus
Name: Cactus
Version: 3.3.3

Turns out this is a bug in Cactus, see eudicots/Cactus/issues/263 , lists also a workaround.
Fix was submitted, but not merged yet, see eudicots/Cactus/pull/267

[esbrandt]

Again, one year passed, and v3.3.3 is still latest.
The patch mentioned in the last commit has been merged to master, but there is no new release available.

Cactus looks like a dead horse.

Edit: Manually copying to the correct folder, so that we at least have a recent template available for upload to Transifex.

[esbrandt]

We do not use Cactus any more. TG
