Setting up component discovery results in a timeout

[m8tec]

Hi, I’m trying to set up a self-hosted Weblate instance running in a Docker container. I have a large number of files that need translation, so I want to use the Component Discovery addon to automate component creation.

I have already created a project and added a base component to it. However, when I try to add the Component Discovery addon, Weblate times out before I can confirm the “these files will be matched” alert.

After this happens, Weblate remains inaccessible for about two hours, displaying a timeout error. Once it becomes accessible again, the addon setup is lost, and the Component Discovery addon is not enabled.

I’ve attempted this four times, but the issue persists.

Configuration:

• File Format: YAML
• Regular Expression to match translation files: Server/Path/Data/Languages/(?P<language>[^/.]*)/(?P<component>.+)/public_(?P=language)\.yml
• Define the monolingual base filename: Server/Path/Data/Languages/en/{{ originalHierarchy }}/{{ component }}_en.yml

Example paths in my repo:

• Server/Path/Data/Languages/en/ui/screens/public_en.yml
• Server/Path/Data/Languages/en/mails/verification/public_en.yml

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a known workaround for this issue?

How many files would match?

As a workaround, you can install the add-on via API.

About 1080 files in a nested folder structure.

I accidentally managed to install it, but with a wrong configuration. It showed all files (but said it wouldn't match them). I installed it anyway and changed the wrong monolingual base filename via api to prevent the timeout, thanks!

I don't see any activity logs when clicking on the "View logs" button of the add-on though. Is there a way to trigger a scan?

Ah, that might really take considerable time with current implementation. #14361 should address this.

It should be triggered on configuration change, maybe it just didn't yet complete?

#14361 seems to have solved the issue. After updating weblate it worked. Thanks!
