Fix language vs. locale

[nickvergessen]

• Steps: set language to english and locale to german
• Go to files app and upload a file
• Expected "a few seconds ago" and on hover "21.03.2019 …"
• Actually "vor einigen sekunden" and on hover "21.03.2019 …"
• Injecting getLanguage instead of getLocale will make it "a few seconds ago" and on hover "2019/21/03 …"

I checked, and indeed moment JS does not allow to differenciate between language and locale. My "idea" would be, to get the localeData of OC.getLocale(), then set moment.locale() to OC.getLanguage() and then overwrite weekstart, ispm, format, ... with the localeData of getLocale, or the other way around.

While it sounds error prone I think this could actually work. I'm wondering if we're the first that have this problem or if there is a known workaround we could follow.

[nickvergessen]

I implemented hat solution and it seems to work quite well.

[ChristophWurst]

Code looks good and change makes sense otherwise

[ChristophWurst]

I would just inline this function call

[MorrisJobke]

  {
    "message": "TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'OC.getLocale().split')\nat core/js/js.js:9:32995",
    "str": "TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'OC.getLocale().split')\nat core/js/js.js:9:32995"
  }

Passes locally. Maybe someone from @nextcloud/javascript can help?

[nickvergessen]

Rebased, lets see if time fixed it.

[MorrisJobke]

Conflicts again :/

[nickvergessen]

rebased

[nickvergessen]

Still failing 🤷‍♂️

[wiswedel]

@rullzer This looks kind of stale but keeps getting reported everywhere. Can this please be considered still for 18?

[skjnldsv]

Status?

[nickvergessen]

See first post

[skjnldsv]

See first post

I read it, what about it?

[nickvergessen]

Well i proposed an idea and now we need to say yes or no to this hack

[skjnldsv]

While it sounds error prone I think this could actually work. I'm wondering if we're the first that have this problem or if there is a known workaround we could follow.

I'm in too!

[rullzer]

I'm going to close this due to lack of activity.
Feel free to reopen if anybody wants to continue.

[ghost]

This is still a problem in NC 22.2.0.

Is there a chance for progress on this issue?
