make-pot pointing to raw JSX file, not built JS file

[cliffordp]

wp i18n make-pot . languages/rankbear.pot --include='dist,src' --exclude='*.jsx,*.map,*.svg,*.txt' --color'

Example built file (currently private project but will be public) in my dist directory:

Why does the .pot file point to the JSX file instead of the built JS file?

Sounds like a duplicate of #185. To verify which files are parsed you can use the --debug (#183) command.

Thanks, @ocean90. I tried --debug and EVERY file is still in there even though excluded. I assumed this meant it was able to find it but then it must have known to exclude it once found (such as excluded by file extension *.jsx).

If that's not what debug's output is telling me, then the exclude isn't working, I guess being overridden by include, which seems odd.

If that's the case, it's not quite the same as #185, since I don't have a wildcard include, only a wildcard exclude.

Thoughts?

[ocean90]

Unfortunately, include is broken too, see #186.

Interesting. TYVM for the help.

Any idea how bugs in this CLI command affect ability to translate on .org, such as if my plugin has JSX that builds to JS and does not ship JSX files to .org, and I don't generate a .pot for .org, then things should still be translatable by .org's team because all they'd know about is the built JS files, right?

[ocean90]

Correct, the built files are what really matters. For testing you can use wp i18n make-pot . on the final plugin files and check that everything is included in the POT file.

On w.org we're still using 2.2.0 fwiw.
