Hi!

I’m trying to use gettext in an application that uses Rails Edge  
(because the REST api). But I can’t get it to work at all.

I’m using Gettext 1.8.0 gem and Rails revision 5875.

This is what a traceback outputs when trying to generate a po file for a  
model:

$ rgettext app/models/post.rb

\<HERE\_COMES\_PO\_HEADER\>  
Error occurs in app/models/post.rb  
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:123:in  
`const_missing': uninitialized constant Deprecated (NameError) from ./config/../vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/base.rb:212 from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’  
from

from

`require' from ./config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:162:in`require\_frameworks’  
from ./config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:162:in  
`require_frameworks' ... 11 levels... from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.8.0/lib/gettext/rgettext.rb:206:in`run’

`rgettext’  
from  
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-1.8.0/bin/rgettext:24  
from /opt/local/bin/rgettext:18

But if I try to generate the po file for a controller or a view all  
works perfectly. Because of the model extraction error, I can’t use  
gettext tasks to extract all the strings on the application.

My post model is very simple:

class Post \< ActiveRecord::Base  
end

Do you know with which Rails Edge revision will it work, or how to fix  
current gettext plugin?

## Thanks!

Carlos

BTW, Ruby-GetText-Package is not a plugin of Ruby on Rails.  
You can use it for any ruby scripts.
