translation missing: en.errors.messages.extension_whitelist_error

[jdzak]

I'm using carrierwave (1.1.0) and rails (5.0.2) and i'm getting translation missing: en.errors.messages.extension_whitelist_error when I try an upload a file that isn't in the whitelist. I looked at the i18n load path and don't see carrierwave in the load path. Any ideas?

My uploader has:

class UserProfilePhotoUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  def extension_whitelist
    %w[jpg jpeg gif png]
  end
end

So I just stumbled upon this discussion about carrierwave-i18n and a corresponding PR.

Seems to me the intent was to keep carrierwave/locale/en.yml in the carrierwave repo and pull all the other localizations into carrierwave-i18n repo. It looks like the PR did that, but it also removed part of the initializer that includes carrierwave in i18n load path making the carrierwave/locale/en.yml file unloadable.

Should the code to add the carrierwave localizations directory to the i18n load path be re-added?

Running into the exact same error. Looks right to me that we need to add it back..

Don't have time to send a PR to fix this yet, but currently I'm deploying a VERY HACKY workaround using Bundler (>1.3) (please refrain to use):
In config/initializers/carrierwave.rb:

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  ...
  carrierwave_gem = Bundler.rubygems.find_name('carrierwave').first
  I18n.load_path.prepend(File.join(carrierwave_gem.full_gem_path, 'lib', 'carrierwave', 'locale', "en.yml")) if carrierwave_gem.present?
  ...
end

For anyone else running into this issue, the better answer is to add

gem 'carrierwave-i18n'

to your gem file
