Error! No `Localizable.strings` file found for output. about bartycrouch HOT 9 CLOSED

I think the problem was that he had this line in the build script:

bartycrouch code -p "$PROJECT_DIR" -l "$PROJECT_DIR" -a

This line expects to find a Localizable.strings file somewhere within the specified project in a localized directory (something like 'en.lproj/'). The fix is to add a Localizable.strings file to the project and click the localize button in Xcode.

If you don't need the feature for adding localization keys from code but instead only want to opt for the Storyboards/XIBs localization, then simply remove the quoted line from the build script and it should work as is.

I'm reopening this issue since people still seem to face it (see #27) and although it can be seen as a "user error" I still think we can do something about it. For example the easiest improvement would be to provide a better error message which points out what to do to fix this.

@derick182: Please note that when using the -p command you need to provide an absolute path to the directory you want it to search within – so instead of / please provide something like /Users/Derick/Projects/MyProject/Sources. This is documented here.

I realize that this issue has been closed for quite some time now. I just upgraded to the latest version of BartyCrouch, and even though I have several Localizable.strings files, I still get the following error message:

Error! No input files found.
Error! No *.strings file found for output.
To fix this, please add a Localizable.strings file to your project and click the localize button for the file in Xcode. Custom names for your *.strings file do also work. Alternatively remove the line beginning with bartycrouch code in your build script to remove this feature entirely if you don't need it. See #11 for further information.

For reference, this is my run script:

if which bartycrouch > /dev/null; then
    # Incrementally update all Storyboards/XIBs strings files
    bartycrouch interfaces -p "$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME"

    # Add new keys to Localizable.strings files from NSLocalizedString in code
    # -k: use un-localized value as default value for translation.
    # -s: sort by keys
    # -a: only add keys
    # -c: override comments
    bartycrouch code -p "$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME" -l "$PROJECT_DIR" -a -s -k -c

else
    echo "warning: BartyCrouch not installed, download it from https://github.com/Flinesoft/BartyCrouch"
fi

Sorry i fixed it

Did you fix it? I got the same issue in Xcode 7.3.1.

Error! No Localizable.strings file found for output.

I install it using brew command and insert run script in my project.
Why do I still get this error?

@Dschee Thank you for your feedback.
If I'd seen comments in the run script, I'd have known what the problem is.
There is no NSLocalizedString codes in my project.
After removing that line of code you mentioned in the run script, the warnings is disappeared.

@eirikvaa You're right, this still is an issue. I've just tracked it down to this commit. So, the issue was introduced by @mathebox in #67. Will revert that for now.

from bartycrouch.

I just reverted the commit and released version 3.10.1. This is hopefully fixed again.

Please also note that there's now a new option named --custom-localizable-name documented here if you have a Strings file with a different name than Localizable.strings.
