i18n ally not working with the Ruby on Rails framework (doesn't detect framework & annotations don't work)

Doesn’t work with the Rails framework. Framework is not auto-recognized (only after config), nor do any of the fancy stuff work, like annotations, hover or direct actions .

Extension Version Ruby 2.7.2 (latest) Rails 6.0.3.4 Vue i18n Ally (2.4.14) -->

Framework/i18n package you are using Default i18n package from Ruby on Rails (https://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html), but can also be found here. https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n

To Reproduce I’ve created a completely new rails application out of the box.

1. Create a new rails app from scratch: rails new i18nally (creates a new rails app in the folder ‘i18nally’

–> By this stage, the Rails Framework is not recognized (i18n ally button (world map) doesn’t show up). Only after adding the ‘ruby-rails’ to the enabled frameworks at i18n-ally.enabledFrameworks is Rails recognized.

1. Create a post section with db migration using rails generators (scaffolding) rails g scaffold posts title body
2. Run the migration rails db:migrate
3. Add a i18n translation to the newly created view in ‘views/posts/index’

Typically for i18n ally to work out of the box with Rails, the locale folder is in ‘config/locales’ (default configuration with Rails). Default locale is english, if not otherwise specified.

If the gem rails is present, you know for sure that Rails is installed. You can with high probability assume that i18n is installed too (presumably starting Rails applications with Rails 2.2 or higher - 2.2 was release in 2009. Today we have version 6.1). I can’t say this with 100% confidence, as I only gotten to Rails starting version 5.1. Another good approach would probably be to scan for a Gemfile.lock for a i18n entry. There you also have the exact version of rails (rails (6.0.3.4) )

This is what I got from a stackoverflow entry.

After developing your application for a while, check in the application together with the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock snapshot. Now, your repository has a record of the exact versions of all of the gems that you used the last time you know for sure that the application worked…

This is important: the Gemfile.lock makes your application a single package of both your own code and the third-party code it ran the last time you know for sure that everything worked. Specifying exact versions of the third-party code you depend on in your Gemfile would not provide the same guarantee, because gems usually declare a range of versions for their dependencies.

@terales : I’m happy to advise on Rails, because we are now using i18n_ally for our project to some extend (i18n_ally works well for translating the views, but not yet for the Rails controllers). Interestingly i18n_ally is not much talked about the Rails community (at least as far as I can tell), but I’d be sure if getting it setup with Rails would be simplified, adoption would increase significantly. (Because managing many keys manually is a huge pain)

I think a good start would be to do a video call with a screen share. I can show how a plain vanilla Rails project is set up. This would give you the understanding of Rails and I could answer any question you might have regarding the implementation. Does that make sense?
