Error in date format

[shimizukawa]

Exception occurred:
File "/usr/local/src/faunalia-website/_templates/layout.html", line 118, in block "footer"
{% trans last_updated=last_updated|e %}Last updated on {{ last_updated }}.{% endtrans %}


ValueError: incomplete format

From conf.py:

html_last_updated_fmt = '%d %b %Y'

Thanks.

Apparently this prevents compilation for fr locale, so it's rather serious.
May be my mistake, I apologize in advance.

I can't reproduce this.
I tried with combination of these parameters:

• language = 'fr' in conf.py
• environment variable LANG=fr
• environment variable LANG=fr_FR.utf-8

Could you tell me your settings and environment in detail?

[shimizukawa]

@pcav do you still have this issue?

[pcav]

Yes, with 1.3.4

Exception occurred:
File "/usr/local/src/pcav/faunalia-website/_templates/layout.html", line 107, in block "footer"
{% trans last_updated=last_updated|e %}Last updated on {{ last_updated }}.{% endtrans %}


ValueError: incomplete format

[shimizukawa]

@pcav Please try below command (-P for debugging mode when exception is occurred)

> sphinx-build -M html . _build -P
...
Exception occurred while building, starting debugger:
...
(Pdb) from sphinx import locale
(Pdb) locale.mygettext('Last updated on %(last_updated)s.')
u'Mis \xe0 jour le %(last_updated)s.'

I suspect that the translated string (last line) is broken.

[tk0miya]

Ping, any updates?

[pcav]

Yes, still the same, with:
html_last_updated_fmt = '%d %b %Y' in conf.py

{{{

@pcav Thanks. Could you check the shimizukawa's comment?
We need more detailed information using debugging mode.

[pcav]

sphinx-build -M html . _build -P does not throw an error.

[shirou]

I cloned https://github.com/pcav/faunalia-website, add html_last_updated_fmt = '%d %b %Y' on conf.py, and make html. But no exception occurred.

Sphinx==1.3.4
sphinx-bootstrap-theme==0.4.12

[pcav]

I use sphinx 1.4.
Thanks for testing.

[shirou]

I also checked with sphinx 1.4.0 and 1.4.5, but same as no exception.
What is your locale on your terminal and your os or distribution?

[pcav]

it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8
Debian sid

[tk0miya]

sphinx-build -M html . _build -P does not throw an error.

Hmm, it's strange...
Do you get the errors if you remove -P option from this command line?
If not, please add -P option to the command line which raises errors.
