Redmine

Ahh, I made a typo in the description and now I can't fix it! *shame*

the route_downcaser gem won't help -- I've just noticed it ignores asset paths. (https://github.com/carstengehling/route_downcaser#020)

This is what I've done:

cd /path/to/redmine
rake db:drop db:create
# remove all plugins
rm -rf plugins/*
# I have Redmine checked out from SVN at trunk
svn revert -R .
rake db:migrate
rails s

Then:

1. Visit Redmine and log in with admin:admin
2. Go to Administration and press the 'Load default data' button. Language has defaulted to 'English (British)'
3. Create an issue
4. GET /issues/1
5. Page contains: <script src="/javascripts/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-en-gb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Some more info:

• User.find_by_login('admin').language returns an empty string.
• request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT_HEADER'] in IssuesController#show returns "en-GB,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6" (I'm using Chromium)
• echo $LANG in terminal produces en_GB.UTF-8

Setting my language to en-GB explicitly doesn't appear to have any effect.

Oh this also probably is relevant -- here's a portion of the <select> tag in the /my/account page:

<option value="en-ind">English</option>
<option value="en-au">English</option>
<option value="en">English</option>
<option value="en-ca">English</option>
<option value="en-us">English</option>
<option value="en-bork">English</option>
<option value="en-gb">English (British)</option>
<option value="en-GB">English (British)</option>

Also, I18n.available_locales produces (non 'en*' ones removed):

[... :en, :"en-GB", :"en-au", :"en-bork", :"en-ca", :"en-gb", :"en-ind", :"en-us" ...]

Do you know where all these en-* locales come from? Redmine core only provides en and en-GB.

I will do some investigation.

Ah! It's because I had the faker gem in my Gemfile.local:

$ rails c
>> pp I18n.load_path
 [...]
 "/home/harry/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/faker-1.1.2/lib/locales/en-gb.yml",
 "/home/harry/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/faker-1.1.2/lib/locales/en-us.yml",
 "/home/harry/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/faker-1.1.2/lib/locales/en-au.yml",
 "/home/harry/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/faker-1.1.2/lib/locales/fr.yml",
 "/home/harry/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/faker-1.1.2/lib/locales/en-ind.yml",
 [...]

Does everything work fine after removing this Gem? Could this issue be marked as invalid?

Everything does work fine after removing it. I'm not really sure what's going on. I guess it's not up to me to say whether the issue's invalid.

Having said that, re whether to close, I would lean towards 'no'; adding a gem to Gemfile.local shouldn't be having this effect, I don't think.

Well, but this seem to be something which is implemented by the gem self. I've added gems to my local file too, but this worked well.

Maybe the gem itself is broken?

Ok, I found what's causing it: https://github.com/stympy/faker/blob/master/lib/faker.rb#L9

Having seen that line, I don't think that's something which should be changed in Redmine. For anyone facing the same problem: put the gem into the :test group in Gemfile.local, and then it won't mess with I18n in development or production.

This issue should probably be closed as invalid. Sorry guys.
