From 32c12c55ebc36eb8058348e9a8b6d4ea051f6460 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Gordon Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 22:53:13 -1000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Make locale generation idempotent with force flag support (#2090) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The `react_on_rails:locale` rake task is now idempotent, automatically skipping generation when locale files are already up-to-date. This addresses issue #2090 by making it safe to call multiple times (e.g., in Shakapacker's `precompile_hook`) without duplicate work or race conditions. - **Idempotent behavior**: Task skips regeneration when locale files are newer than source YAML files - **Force flag**: Added `force=true` option to override timestamp checking and force regeneration - **Clear messaging**: Outputs helpful messages when skipping or generating files - **Safe coordination**: Can be called multiple times in precompile hooks, development servers, and CI without issues - `lib/tasks/locale.rake`: Added `force=true` parameter support and improved task description - `lib/react_on_rails/locales/base.rb`: Modified `compile()` and `Base#initialize()` to accept and handle `force` parameter, added informative output messages - `spec/react_on_rails/locales_spec.rb`: Added tests for force parameter propagation to ToJson and ToJs - `spec/react_on_rails/locales_to_js_spec.rb`: Added test verifying force flag bypasses timestamp checking - `docs/building-features/i18n.md`: Added recommended pattern for using Shakapacker's `precompile_hook` with idempotent locale generation - `CHANGELOG.md`: Added entry documenting the improvement ```bash bundle exec rake react_on_rails:locale ``` ```bash bundle exec rake react_on_rails:locale force=true ``` ```yaml default: &default precompile_hook: "bundle exec rake react_on_rails:locale" ``` Fixes #2090 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 +++ docs/building-features/i18n.md | 8 +++++++- lib/react_on_rails/locales/base.rb | 15 ++++++++++----- lib/tasks/locale.rake | 7 ++++++- spec/react_on_rails/locales_spec.rb | 16 ++++++++++++++++ spec/react_on_rails/locales_to_js_spec.rb | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 024cc2df58..abf582b004 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -26,12 +26,15 @@ Changes since the last non-beta release. #### Improved - **Automatic Precompile Hook Coordination in bin/dev**: The `bin/dev` command now automatically runs Shakapacker's `precompile_hook` once before starting development processes and sets `SHAKAPACKER_SKIP_PRECOMPILE_HOOK=true` to prevent duplicate execution in spawned webpack processes. + - Eliminates the need for manual coordination, sleep hacks, and duplicate task calls in Procfile.dev - Users can configure expensive build tasks (like locale generation or ReScript compilation) once in `config/shakapacker.yml` and `bin/dev` handles coordination automatically - Includes warning for Shakapacker versions below 9.4.0 (the `SHAKAPACKER_SKIP_PRECOMPILE_HOOK` environment variable is only supported in 9.4.0+) - The `SHAKAPACKER_SKIP_PRECOMPILE_HOOK` environment variable is set for all spawned processes, making it available for custom scripts that need to detect when `bin/dev` is managing the precompile hook - Addresses [2091](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/issues/2091) by [justin808](https://github.com/justin808) +- **Idempotent Locale Generation**: The `react_on_rails:locale` rake task is now idempotent, automatically skipping generation when locale files are already up-to-date.
