New --config option doesn't appear to work.

[geoffharcourt]

The --config option to specify an alternate location for the configuration file doesn't appear to be accepted in either 0.9.35 (where it was added) or 0.9.36.

> i18n-tasks --config config/i18n-tasks.deployment.yml
i18n-tasks: invalid option: --config

[glebm]

@krtschmr Can you please have a look?

[davidwessman]

@geoffharcourt Is it still applicable for the latest version?

bundle exec i18n-tasks --version    
1.0.5
bundle exec i18n-tasks --config what
i18n-tasks: Config file doesn't exist: what

[geoffharcourt]

@davidwessman I'm not sure why, but in multiple environments we're still seeing this issue:

❯ bundle exec i18n-tasks --version
1.0.5
❯ bundle exec i18n-tasks --config config/i18n-tasks.deployment.yml
i18n-tasks: invalid option: --config

This happens if I run the gem (same version) from the system installation (not from bundler) we get the same behavior.

[davidwessman]

I cannot recreate this execpt for v0.9.34 when the option did not exist.

• Could it be some gem cache?
• Can you give more information about the environment?

[geoffharcourt]

Hi @davidwessman I'm still confused about what's going on. I checked and I don't have any of the pre-config option versions installed:

❯ gem list | grep i18n-tasks
i18n-tasks (1.0.10, 1.0.9)

I confirmed I'm using the version associated with my local Ruby installation (MacOS, Ruby 3.1.2):

❯ which i18n-tasks
/Users/geoff/.asdf/shims/i18n-tasks

And I'm still getting an error when trying to use the flag:

❯ i18n-tasks --config config/i18n-tasks.deployment.yml
i18n-tasks: invalid option: --config

[glebm]

What does i18n-tasks --version say?

[geoffharcourt]

Hi @glebm, sorry for not including that earlier:

❯ i18n-tasks --version
1.0.10

[davidwessman]

How does your i18n-tasks.yml look?

[geoffharcourt]

@davidwessman I'd hope that only the one I'm referencing matters, but here's the one that's normally in place for us (config/i18n-tasks.yml, at the bottom is the one we're trying to use):

# i18n-tasks finds and manages missing and unused translations: https://github.com/glebm/i18n-tasks

# The "main" locale.
base_locale: en
## All available locales are inferred from the data by default. Alternatively, specify them explicitly:
locales: [en, es]
## Reporting locale, default: en. Available: en, ru.
# internal_locale: en

# Read and write translations.
data:
  ## Translations are read from the file system. Supported format: YAML, JSON.
  ## Provide a custom adapter:

  # Locale files or `File.find` patterns where translations are read from:
  read:
    ## Default:
    - config/locales/%{locale}.yml
    ## More files:

  # Locale files to write new keys to, based on a list of key pattern => file rules. Matched from top to bottom:
  # `i18n-tasks normalize -p` will force move the keys according to these rules
  write:
    ## For example, write devise and simple form keys to their respective files:
    # - ['{devise, simple_form}.*', 'config/locales/\1.%{locale}.yml']
    ## Catch-all default:
    # - config/locales/%{locale}.yml

  # External locale data (e.g. gems).
  # This data is not considered unused and is never written to.
  external:
    ## Example (replace %#= with %=):
    # - "<%#= %x[bundle show vagrant].chomp %>/templates/locales/%{locale}.yml"

  ## Specify the router (see Readme for details). Valid values: conservative_router, pattern_router, or a custom class.
  # router: conservative_router

  ## Alternatively, the only files or `File.fnmatch patterns` to search in `paths`:

  # only: ["*.rb", "*.html.slim"]

  ## If `strict` is `false`, guess usages such as t("categories.#{category}.title"). The default is `true`.
  strict: false

  ## Multiple scanners can be used. Their results are merged.

## Ignore these keys completely:
# ignore:
#  - kaminari.*

## Sometimes, it isn't possible for i18n-tasks to match the key correctly,
## e.g. in case of a relative key defined in a helper method.
## In these cases you can use the built-in PatternMapper to map patterns to keys, e.g.:
#
# <%# I18n::Tasks.add_scanner 'I18n::Tasks::Scanners::PatternMapper',
#       only: %w(*.html.haml *.html.slim),
#       patterns: [['= title\b', '.page_title']] %>
#
# The PatternMapper can also match key literals via a special %{key} interpolation, e.g.:
#
# <%# I18n::Tasks.add_scanner 'I18n::Tasks::Scanners::PatternMapper',
#       patterns: [['\bSpree\.t[( ]\s*%{key}', 'spree.%{key}']] %>

and here's the one I'm trying to use via the flag (config/i18n-tasks.deployment.yml):

[shev-vadim-net]

I have the same issue. When a config file doesn't exist it shows correct error message

bundle exec i18n-tasks --config what
i18n-tasks: Config file doesn't exist: what

But when I use the real file path it shows

i18n-tasks: invalid option: --config

I was able to make it work with a simple change, see #455.

[davidwessman]

Ah, I only tested with non-existing files... Good find!

[davidwessman]

@glebm Closed by #455

[geoffharcourt]

Thanks everyone for the help and the fix!

[krtschmr]

@glebm yeah, sorry, i was "AFK" :-)

bundle exec i18n-tasks --config config/i18n-js-tasks.yml normalize this now works for me aswell.

thanks everybody for fixing my oversight.

💪🏿
