Empty translation created without adding it in the UI

[besi]

I did run into an issue but there was no issue tracker enabled on the repo:

• Create a new entity and only add the default translation (German in my case):
• I save
• The translation_status now shows German AND English even though I did not provide an English translation:
• I edit the entity and save without changes:
• Now only “German” is shown for translation_status which is correct:

The original plugin did that as well which I think is the reason for a problem that I am running into on production environment: See https://github.com/globalize/globalize/issues/362

I can't reproduce this in the dummy app bundled in this repository, could you try to do that? Are you still experiencing the issue using the latest version from develop branch?

Quick setup:

git clone https://github.com/fabn/activeadmin-globalize.git
cd spec/dummy
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
# Change config.serve_static_assets = true in config/environments/production.rb
# Change config.i18n.default_locale = :de in config/application.rb
# You can apply the patch below with patch -n1 < config.patch
rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
rails s -e production
# open http://localhost:3000/admin and login with devise default credentials, user: admin@example.com, pass: password

When I create an article in the above setup I get these logs

I, [2014-09-24T17:33:48.613070 #82049]  INFO -- : Started POST "/admin/articles" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-09-24 17:33:48 +0200
I, [2014-09-24T17:33:48.614374 #82049]  INFO -- : Processing by Admin::ArticlesController#create as HTML

And only de version of article is created.

Here are the gems I'm using

bundle show
  * activeadmin (1.0.0.pre 930d34c)
  * activeadmin-globalize (1.0.0.pre)
  * globalize (4.0.2)
  * rails (4.0.10)

Could you try to reproduce the issue in the dummy app? If you can't I need more details, at least

• output of bundle show (or your Gemfile.lock)
• rails configuration for i18n in your app
• log of post request to resource/create with full paremters

Here is the patch with changes above to run the app in production, apply it with patch -p1 < input.patch

Thanks for the detailed instructions and sorry for not being specific. I can't reproduce the issue in the demo app. I wanted to adapt it to my project, but there is no Gemfile (?).

It looks like there is no English form data sent to the server. However the duplicate language is created though (See updated screenshots in the issue description).

My production.rb:

  # ...
  config.i18n.fallbacks = true

My application.rb

    # ...
    config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]
    config.i18n.available_locales = [:de, :en]
    config.i18n.fallbacks = true
    config.i18n.enforce_available_locales = true
    config.i18n.default_locale = :de

I read the linked issue in globalize gem and they marked your report as a bug. Maybe it's involved here?

Could you try to execute this code using rails console and see if the english version is created as well?

your_attrs = {not_translated: 'field'} # your base fields with no need for translations
de_translation = {
  locale: :de,
  title: 'title',
  summary: 'summary',
  # ...
}
Programme.create!(your_attrs.merge(translations_attributes: [de_translation]))

The embedded dummy application it uses main Gemfile and gemspec. Notice there is no Gemfile.lock in the repository.

[besi]

I did this but only the German translation was created:

your_attrs = {
    website: 'http://google.com',
    admin_contact: 'bubu@example.com',
    levels: [Level.last],
    categories: [Category.last],
    fund_types: [FundType.last],
}
de_translation = {
    title: 'title',
    summary: 'summary'
}

Programme.create!(your_attrs.merge(translations_attributes: [de_translation]))

[fabn]

Can you launch a pry session on create and use it to explore the created object? You can do that by overwriting the create action in this way:

# In your AA resource file
controller do
  create! do |format|
    binding.pry # Your object is available in resource (or @programme)
    format.html { redirect_to resource }
  end
end

Another interesting thing to see would be the full SQL output for the create action.

IMHO Propably this whole issue comes down to https://github.com/fabn/activeadmin-globalize/pull/17 and https://github.com/globalize/globalize/pull/328 .
