i18n Json Files not getting Imported from server

[rss43181551]

Hi Community,

We created /apps/projectname/i18n/de.json on CRXDE-Lite. When trying to import using Eclipse, files dont get imported. 

Strangely if I change .json to .json1 in crxde-lite, then Import in eclipse is successful.

Is there any setting that disallows .json files to be imported?

I have checked the .xml files under apps\src\main\content\META-INF\vault. config.xml, filter.xml. settings.xml. Cant really see anything that could exclude .json files.

Any help?

Is it happening only for i18n json files or in any other directory?

Thanks,

Thanks for responding.

I tried pasting the de.json file in a component folder in crxde-lite. Then imported in eclipse. It imported a file de only. Without the file extension .json.

In file explorer checked it, its de.xml. Pasted below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:mix="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/mix/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
    jcr:language="de"
    jcr:mixinTypes="[mix:language]"
    jcr:primaryType="nt:file">
    <jcr:content
        jcr:lastModifiedBy="admin"
        jcr:mimeType="application/json"
        jcr:primaryType="nt:resource"/>
</jcr:root>

BTW, we are using 6.1 SP1.

Did you try import using VLT?

hi. thanks for responding.

Tried a vlt checkout. The .json file indeed comes into the file-system. But then our code build starts failing with below error:

[ERROR] Request failed: com.day.jcr.vault.packaging.PackageException: org.apache.jackrabbit.vault.packaging.PackageException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: folder handler did not accept /apps/myproject/i18n/de.json (500)

Plus: we have got so used to working with AEM-Eclipse plugin now..Really doesnt make sense to use vlt just for a single file.

Also, any suggestions on best practices for managing translations using these .json files? Creating in crxde-lite and/or at /libs/cq/i18n/translator.html works. What then?

1. Create a package to promote to other environments? With packages we tried and faced issue - server needs to be restarted - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4814 

2. Import the JSONs in code and build everytime? With this approach neither import works nor the build(for us as of now).
