Mobility.with_locale(:de) not working in feature specs

[jmuheim]

When I'm doing the following:

Mobility.with_locale(:de) do
  visit page_path(@page)
end

...then the default locale (en) is still active. It only works like so:

visit page_path(@page, locale: :de)

This is really a question for SO, but just quickly: Mobility.locale is not the same as I18n.locale. Setting Mobility.locale will take effect for Mobility stuff, but not for stuff that's looking at I18n.locale since that locale does not change.

If you want to change the I18n locale, you need to use I18n.with_locale(:de). If Mobility.locale is nil, then Mobility will also default to I18n.locale.

You're right, I wasn't aware of this difference. I'm sorry for polluting your issues tracker. Next time I'll ask on SO. 👍

(Thanks though!)

[shioyama]

No worries! The readme could be clearer about this.

PS: I18n.with_locale :de { ... } doesn't seem to work either. Maybe it's running in a different thread or something...?

[shioyama]

I think you need do/end for that to work.

[jmuheim]

I did... I just replaced it with curly braces to make a one-liner here. 😅

[shioyama]

hmm not really sure, you mean mobility is not showing translations in German?

[jmuheim]

No, the Rails routing mechanism still sent me to the english page.

[shioyama]

Well, that's really not a Mobility issue at all...

[jmuheim]

Exactly. Just wanted to point it out here for someone else coming from Google or so... 👍
