spellchecker tries to use an incorrect dictionary and does not work.

rcrehuet commented 3 years ago

Description

There are several similar issues but I could not find the solution in any of them. Most of them were installation problems, but my extensions seem to be properly installed.

When starting jupyterlab with the spellchecker extension, this message is printed:

[I 2021-10-08 10:20:40.938 ServerApp] Looking for hunspell dictionaries for spellchecker in ['/home/ramon/.local/share/jupyter/dictionaries', '/home/ramon/anaconda3/share/jupyter/dictionaries', '/usr/local/share/jupyter/dictionaries', '/usr/share/jupyter/dictionaries', '/usr/share/hunspell', '/usr/share/myspell', '/usr/share/myspell/dicts']

I live in Catalonia and I may have set ca_ES somewhere, but my locale is in English, and this is the language I want to use in jupyterlab:

(base) ramon@xoriguer:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

The jupyter lab shows English as the only available language (but it is shaded):

However the spell-checker does not work as it does not highlight incorrect words.

I've checked the advanced settings and English is selected there. I do not see where ca_ES_valencia comes from:

Reproduce

I am using conda

Start jupyterlab with: (base) ramon@xoriguer:~$ jupyter lab

Expected behavior

The English dictionary should be used by loading the file en_US.dat which is located here: /home/ramon/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/babel/locale-data/en_US.dat This file came with the spell-checker installation. I did not install it manually.

The entry in the file menu is not spellchecker! It's the User Interface language, which is not related to spellecheker at all. You can get UI language pack from https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-language-packs, more precisely from https://github.com/jupyterlab/language-packs/tree/master/language-packs/jupyterlab-language-pack-ca-ES and you can contribute to translations on crowdin: https://crowdin.com/project/jupyterlab; the spellchecker language is set from status bar but it likely does not show up for you due to the other issue
extension failed loading with message: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '[...]/babel/locale-data/ca_ES_valencia.dat tells us that spellchecker failed to load as babel could not resolve locale data for ca_ES_valencia; this means that you have a dictionary for ca_ES_valencia but there is no corresponding locale in international codes available from babel; please note that these are not dictionaries - this is just metadata about locale.
This means that you have a dictionary in one of the following paths:
- /home/ramon/.local/share/jupyter/dictionaries
- /home/ramon/anaconda3/share/jupyter/dictionaries
- /usr/local/share/jupyter/dictionaries
- /usr/share/jupyter/dictionaries
- /usr/share/hunspell
- /usr/share/myspell
- /usr/share/myspell/dicts which is named ca_ES_valencia.aff and ca_ES_valencia.dic; however this is not a locale code recognised by babel; I checked what codes are available, and those include ca_ES and ca_ES_VALENCIA. This means that the name of the region code should be uppercase, but your dictionaries seem to have it lowercase; I don't know if this is a bug in babel, or a problem with your dictionary; please try locating the dictionary files and renaming them to the lettercase accepted by babel.

krassowski commented 3 years ago

The BCP 47 standard recommends that lettercase is discarded, so it looks like a bug to me. Reproducer:

>>> import babel
>>> d = babel.Locale.parse('ca_ES_VALENCIA')
>>> d.get_display_name()
'català (Espanya, valencià)'

>>> import babel
>>> d = babel.Locale.parse('ca_ES_valencia')
>>> d.get_display_name()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "[..]/site-packages/babel/core.py", line 381, in get_display_name
    retval = locale.languages.get(self.language)
  File "[..]/site-packages/babel/core.py", line 482, in languages
    return self._data['languages']
  File "[..]/site-packages/babel/core.py", line 364, in _data

    with open(filename, 'rb') as fileobj:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '[..]/site-packages/babel/locale-data/ca_ES_valencia.dat'

In short, it's not us, it's a babel bug; they should find the correct file, or be throwing babel.core.UnknownLocaleError if anything, but they are throwing FileNotFoundError which we did not expect.

I opened https://github.com/python-babel/babel/issues/814.

krassowski commented 3 years ago

Hi @rcrehuet an updated version of jupyterlab-spellchecker (0.7.2) is now available on conda-forge (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/jupyterlab-spellchecker), and it works around the bug in babel by catching the exception; I think that it should solve the problem for you (although you will see the dictionary name without pretty display name). Please upgrade with:

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab-spellchecker=0.7.2

and after restarting JuypterLab please let me know if you see a spellchecker item in the status bar; it should look somewhat like on the GIF below:

rcrehuet commented 3 years ago

I'll first answer your previous message. The files ca_ES_valencia.* are indeed located in /usr/share/hunspell/. They are put there by the hunspell-ca package of the Ubuntu distribution.

Concerning the new version, it works flawlessly! Thanks a lot!

krassowski commented 3 years ago

Thanks for confirming that it works well! I will close this issue now as resolved.

For anyone interested in making the display name pretty, the way forward would be to contribute upstream to fix https://github.com/python-babel/babel/issues/814 in babel; if the babel maintainers come back saying that they cannot accept a fix (which I don't think will happen, but just in case) then we will workaround it here.
