[SOLVED] lupdate fails to find correct strings and locations

lckappa

Hi,

I am new to Qt Project forums, not new to Qt though.
I run into a problem with lupdate (version 4.7.4) that can be reproduced by "lupdating" the following dummy class:

[MyObject.h]
@
#ifndef MYOBJECT_H
#define MYOBJECT_H

#include <QObject>

class MyObject : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
MyObject(QObject *parent);
~MyObject();
QString firstOptionText( bool enabled = true );
QString secondOptionText( bool enabled = true );
QString thirdOptionText( bool enabled = true );

private:

};

#endif // MYOBJECT_H
@

[MyObject.cpp]
@
#include "MyObject.h"

MyObject::MyObject(QObject *parent)
: QObject(parent)
{

}

MyObject::~MyObject()
{

}

QString MyObject::firstOptionText( bool enabled /*= true */ )
{
return enabled ? tr("First") : tr("No first");
}

QString MyObject::secondOptionText( bool enabled /*= true */ )
{
return enabled ? tr("Second") : tr("No second");
}

QString MyObject::thirdOptionText( bool enabled /*= true */ )
{
return enabled ? tr("Third") : tr("No third");
}
@

Apparently, lupdate fails to recognize all these strings. In fact, relatively to the "MyObject" context, the .ts files look as follows:

@
<context>
<name>MyObject</name>
<message id="true">
<location filename="MyObject.cpp" line="16"/>
<location filename="MyObject.cpp" line="21"/>
<location filename="MyObject.cpp" line="26"/>
<source>First</source>
<translation type="unfinished"></translation>
</message>
<message>
<location filename="MyObject.cpp" line="16"/>
<source>No first</source>
<translation type="unfinished"></translation>
</message>
<message>
<location filename="MyObject.cpp" line="21"/>
<source>No second</source>
<translation type="unfinished"></translation>
</message>
<message>
<location filename="MyObject.cpp" line="26"/>
<source>No third</source>
<translation type="unfinished"></translation>
</message>
</context>
@

Same thing happens using "if(...) ... else ..." in place of the ternary operator "... ? ... : ...".

Any help about this is appreciated.

Thanks

Hii..

welcome to Qt devnet.

i went through your problem .

Remove old .ts file

just remove /*= true */ comments and save it.

and regenerate .ts file

your problem would be solved.

:)

Many thanks!
That worked!

Is that related to lupdate not correctly handling C style comments /.../ in general? Or is that related to comments inside argument lists? Who knows... I will check that (since comments like those are automatically generated by the tool I use for automatic definition generation...).

IamSumit

wow that's great..
I guess..May be argument problem .

and Don't forget to make your thread as [SOLVED].
