Weblate repository browser URL for MediaWriter is broken

[rffontenelle]

Weblate has this awesome feature of linking a translation string source location to its source file in the source code repository. This makes it easier for the translator to go check the context with a single click in the Weblate web UI.

Currently, repository browser URL is broken for some strings in MediaWriter project. See the following alert in Fedora Weblate:

Broken repository browser URL

This component is set up incorrectly.

The repository browser URL points to non-existing locations:

• https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/blob/main/../src/app/data/org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter.appdata.xml.in#8 (404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/blob/src/app/data/org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter.appdata.xml.in#8)

This can happen if the path within the translation files contains references to a parent directory, or is absolute.

Appeared 2 years ago, last seen 10 hours ago

Notice in the resulting URL how "blob/main/../src" resulted in "blob/src" (missing the branch name).

The culprit is the source location having "../" in the beginning.

Nevermind. I learned that Weblate can be configured to ignore to leading parent directory ...
