Errors when running i18n makemessages tests on Windows

Reported by: Ramiro Morales Owned by: Ramiro Morales
Component: Internationalization Version: 1.10
Severity: Normal Keywords: windows makemessages
Cc: Triage Stage: Ready for checkin
Has patch: yes Needs documentation: no
Needs tests: no Patch needs improvement: no
Easy pickings: no UI/UX: no

Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

Follow-up to report makemessages (literal translation extraction functionality) problems made visible after #25677 / fa08d27fb714534670b431fde0cd04a17d637585 but which aren't actually related to the issue reported there and probably nor with the commit either.

Example output whe running tests with Python 2.7 (outcome when using 3.4 and 3.5 is similar).

gettext version is 0.19.6.

Would be nice to know what's the reported syntax error. With a well-placed breakpoint, you should be able to inspect the po file (and maybe manually run the msgmerge command) to find out the syntax issue.

AFAICS what happens on Windows is that by not passing universal_newlines to subprocess.Popen() as we are doing since fa08d27fb714534670b431fde0cd04a17d637585 the in -memory representation of text content we capture from the standard output of xgettext(1), msgmerge(1), etc. on this platform contains native line ending sequences and not simply \n.

(All examples below are running the i18n.test_extraction.BasicExtractorTests.test_blocktrans_trimmed test case)

Blob of text that reaches django.core.management.commands.makemessages.write_pot_file():

(Pdb) msgs
u'# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.\r\n# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE\'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER\r\n# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.\r\n# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.\r\n#\r\n#, fuzzy\r\nmsgid ""\r\nmsgstr ""\r\n

Note the native \r\n line ending sequences.

Then, the temporary .pot file (test\i18n\test_extraction\commands\locale\django.pot) is written. As we open it in text mode (we can't open it in either binary or universal newlines modes because we are passing the encoding parameter to io.open()) the \n sequences are replaced with \r\n ones resulting in lines separated by \r\r\n, e.g. (output of hd(1) on Linux, django.pot transferred from the Windows system):

$ hd -n 240 django.pot

From this stage of the message extraction process onwards:

  1. With each update of the on-disk ancillary temporary POT file additional \r chars are accumulated. In the mentioned test case it ends with \r\r\r\r\n line separators.
  2. As further popen_wrapper calls are performed (i.e. to call msgmerge(1) or msguniq(1)), problem 1 above gets carried to the final .po file(s) and somehow results in multiple \r\n inserted:

  1. The newly added newlines confuse copy_plural_forms() (see above) and the code in charge setting of the charset value on the PO header to utf-8. This is what causes the symptom reported by this ticket: django.po:2:47: syntax error -- msgmerge: found 1 fatal error

#25667 was about the inability to handle error output of msgfmt(1) which is actually invoked from compilemessages buf the removal of the gettext_popen_wrapper function (which was the one passing universal_newlines to subprocess.Popen()) introduced this unintended effect.

One possible path would be to re-introduce universal_newlines only for the handling of the gettext tools used by makemessages which, unlike the compilemenssages/msgmft(1), do actually spew POT and PO content in-band; but I'm afraid to do that given the difficulties we've experienced on this front, see #20271, 6fb9dee470d57882e378247fd2706d5f9867b5f9 and 57202a112a966593857725071ecd652a87c157fb for some examples.

I'm working on an alternate approach. Will update this ticket with the link to a PR.

In 6ab0d13:

Fixed #26645 -- Fixed potential makemessages failures on Windows.

This was reflected by 27 i18n test errors (not failures) on such
platform caused by corrupt intermediate PO catalog files fed to
msgmerge(1).

Made it handle in-memory PO/POT file contents with normalized line
separators ('\n').

We need to perform manually this after using subprocess.Popen as we
can't pass it universal_newlines=True.

Also fixes #26670 in the process as this commit refactors the same code
section.
