lupdate 4.3.0 does not work but 4.2.2 works?!

**gri** · 18th June 2007, 14:52

Hello there,

I changed my Qt version from 4.2.2 to 4.3.0. Now the "lupdate"-command fails with "lupdate error: Cannot save '../../../../../../': No such file or directory" and I can't find why

Parts of my project.pro:

Qt Code:

Switch view

TRANSLATIONS = language/project_de.ts \ # German
			   language/project_en.ts \ # English
			   language/project_it.ts \ # Italian
			   language/project_fr.ts \ # French
			   language/project_sp.ts   # Spanish

TRANSLATIONS = language/project_de.ts \ # German
			   language/project_en.ts \ # English
			   language/project_it.ts \ # Italian
			   language/project_fr.ts \ # French
			   language/project_sp.ts   # Spanish

Commandline output from 4.3.0:

What shell do you use?

As you see I'm on Windows: Command Prompt. ("Visual Studio .NET 2003 Command Prompt")

So you're not using MSYS... Ok... Could you show us the contents of your .pro file?

Qt Code:

Switch view

# Use application template
TEMPLATE = app
 
win32 {
  LIBS += -lshell32 \
          -ladvapi32
}
 
include(project.pri)
 
 
RESOURCES = project.qrc
 
RC_FILE = project.rc
 
# The language files which translate the application
TRANSLATIONS = language/project_de.ts \ # German
			   language/project_en.ts \ # English
			   language/project_it.ts \ # Italian
			   language/project_fr.ts \ # French
			   language/project_sp.ts   # Spanish
 
QTPLUGIN += qjpeg
 
# Qt libs
QT += network \ # Add networking support
      xml

# Use application template
TEMPLATE = app

win32 {
  LIBS += -lshell32 \
          -ladvapi32
}

include(project.pri)


RESOURCES = project.qrc

RC_FILE = project.rc

# The language files which translate the application
TRANSLATIONS = language/project_de.ts \ # German
			   language/project_en.ts \ # English
			   language/project_it.ts \ # Italian

			   language/project_sp.ts   # Spanish

QTPLUGIN += qjpeg

# Qt libs
QT += network \ # Add networking support
      xml

When I switch the order of languages in the TRANSLATIONS line everytime only the first one gets parsed and the second one fails with that stupid message above

What if you remove the comments after "\"? I think they are the ones breaking your .pro file. I think "\" should be the last character in the line if it is to mean to continue reading the next line.

Another thing to try is to put all filenames in one line.

This could be a bug in lupdate but this could also be some kind of a fix. See if any of the above mentioned solutions work. Then you can report the issue to Trolltech asking about the correct behaviour.

I already tried putting them all in one line yesterday ... this changes nothing

Is the behaviour identical if you create an new .pro file containing only TRANSLATIONS lines?

No.

Qt Code:

Switch view

TRANSLATIONS = test_de.ts \
               test_en.ts

TRANSLATIONS = test_de.ts \
               test_en.ts

Ok, so this suggests something in the .pro file corrupts the behaviour of lupdate. Maybe some non-printable character or something like that?
