Upload of po-file fails

Post by charlesdexterward »

I've dowloaded the german UP po (fallout-up-de.po) to edit it with poedit and make use of it's more convenient search/replace functionality. After I was done, I've tried to upload it again and got some error screen (something with cloudflare, I get this quite often using this site). I've tried again and now it says "File content merge failed: The file lock '/var/www/html/weblate/data/vcs/fallout/up.lock' could not be acquired.".

I assume you can remove the lock, but I'm afraid this will happen again.
The file is about 8megs. Could it be too much for the server or sth?

  1. Please attach the file.
  2. How many times did you try?
  3. What else you get "quite often"? A screenshot of that?
  4. The system has built-in search and replace (just in case you didn't notice).

1. See attachment. I had to zip it so it doesn't get denied by the forum software.
2. 4 times I think. The first time failed after some time with error screen (cloudflare or sth)
3. I get this sometimes after saving a translated string. I don't now the exact message, since i reload the page and then it works most of the time. I'll make a screenshot next time I see it.
4. I know, but it offers only a search and replace for the whole po. I need a search and replace tool with confirmation on every occurance. It's just too dangerous otherwise.

I can reproduce. Can't say for sure yet, but it may have to do with the fact that lock is per component (=UP, for example), and it keeps for some time, so if anyone is translating any the component into any other language, it'll fail to merge.

However the built-in is with confirmation on every occurance, have you tried it?

Don't hesitate to report any other issues, preferably in a separate topic each, with screenshots and steps to reproduce.

So I've tried the upload again and got the message you see in the attachement.

About the replace option: I see. I got the impression that it replaces everything instantly if you click "process"; the page is a bit misleading in that regard.
Nevertheless, it would be a real bummer if the upload doesn't work. Because offline translation with po files can still be much faster for some tasks, and I already put quite some effort into this file.

I understand that offline could be more convenient in some cases. I'll continue looking into it, but it could take a few days.

So in the meantime I'm continuing my work offline in the hope that the issue gets resolved soon.

Have you tried to upload my attached file from your side?

Yes, reproduce is the first thing to do in troubleshooting.

As you wish, but I can't promise anything yet. In general, it's better to keep the work online though, to avoid merge conflicts when multiple people are translating.

This problem only with po files or xlf, tmx are not loaded too?


Yep. How to reproduce? Just download xliff and upload back.
