Using Addon "Component discovery" - can't get the "Regular expression to match translation files against" right

[brianread108]

I am unable to get the format right for the translation files, I get this:
"Regular expression is missing named group "component", the simplest way to define it is (?P.*)." when I input this:
"root/usr/share/smanager/lib/SrvMngr/I18N/Modules/{{ component|title }}/pofiles/{{ component }}_*.po"

I want the component name to be the directory name (which is capitalised) or the file(s) name part which is the same as the directory, but all lower case.

ok, after a lot more research and also asking chatGPT, I got this to work:

^root/usr/share/smanager/lib/SrvMngr/I18N/Modules/(?P<component_cap>[A-Z][a-zA-Z]*)/pofiles/(?P<component>[a-z]+)_(?P[a-z]{2}).po$

I've not come across the ?P<name> structure before. The docs could do with an example or two.

Eh, the documentation actually has a whole chapter with examples: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/addons.html#component-discovery-examples

Interesting - I seem to have (docker) code for v5.6.2, that docs link shows 5.7. I only installed last week direct from git following your docker instructions. Have I missed a release?

5.7 is currently being developed. I always post links to the latest doc version, but there was no change in this.
