why adding a redundant id instead of using document.getElementsByTagName ?

No reason other than I thought that might be more explicit. I wasn't sure which would be more ideal. I can go ahead and change this to use document.getElementsByTagName instead if that is preferred.

There's a chance that home.html, when opened, contains extra html tags. To prevent conflicts, assigning an id is probably best. Although I'd prefix it to avoid more conflicts (eg mx_PageRoot).

This should propably be done in matrix-react-sdk inside the languageHandler.js. Otherwise it doesn't get changed if the user changes the language in the settings.

that is true, and then even more evidently you can't rely on the outermost html element having an id since riot isn't the only consumer of matrix-react-sdk

You actually want document.documentElement.

@MTRNord Are you sure? Doesn't the entire page get reloaded when you change language, and, thus, loadLanguage() would be called again, updating the attribute?

@pafcu well the current would propably need a refactor as soon as the translation change uses states instead a full reload

@MTRNord And the "put it into the sdk" would need a refactor as soon as the split between the sdk and riot-web is made more clear.
Perhaps the correct approach is to fire a languageChanged event that the application can listen to. But considering how small the current proposed change is, I'd say use it as is, and change it if and when someone implements something more robust.

@pafcu what about putting this (in another PR) inside a promise returned from setLanguage()? That would propably make more sense to do

Does that solve the issue of an app-developer only wanting to change the language of the matrix-specifc part of their page, rather than the entire page?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@pafcu no but the issue that a reload might not happen in the future on language changes. (Thats what my point is)
Change the root <html> element id to follow Matrix naming conventions.

Instead of using a special id, you should just use document.documentElement. That way you don't need to add any id to the <html> element at all.
Use documentElement to get the root <html> element instead of adding an id to the root element.

I can't make sense of the Travis CI failure, so I don't know what I broke. |
|
@aidalgol I don't think you actually broke it. It looks more like a problem with Travis? Perhaps someone with admin access to this repository could try to re-run the tests. |
|
I restarted it but its still failing, I'll take a look at it now |
|
@t3chguy looks like that some deps failed to install. Propably a timing issue :/ (and not related to this change) |
Fixes #5662. (Trivial two-line change.)
