extraction agent missed strings in vue sfc template blocks

extraction agent missed strings in vue sfc template blocks

TL;DR

Fixes the extraction agent skipping strings inside Vue single-file component template blocks. Point the extractor at the template block parser, not just the script block. Use when Vue template strings never reach the catalog. Not for script-block strings.

The error

Extraction catalog is missing every string from .vue template blocks; only script strings were extracted.

Fix it

Step 1: Confirm the gap

grep -c "t(" src/components/Card.vue

Expected: You count template usages the catalog lacks.

Step 2: Enable the SFC template parser

node -e "console.log('configure the extractor to parse template blocks with the Vue SFC parser')"

Expected: The extractor reads template blocks.

Step 3: Re-extract and diff

node -e "console.log('confirm the new catalog includes the template strings')"

Expected: Template strings appear in the catalog.

When to use this

• Vue template strings are missing from the catalog
• The extractor only reads script blocks

When NOT to use this

• Script strings are missing too, check the extractor roots
• Strings extract but with wrong keys, check the key strategy

Tool and version compatibility

• Vue 3 SFC
• vue-i18n extraction plugins

Variant phrasings

strings missing from JSX-like render functions

Same class of bug: the parser only handles one syntax. Add the missing parser.

template strings extract with wrong context

Template and script need different key prefixes to avoid collisions.

Why it happens

Vue SFCs contain three languages in one file. Extractors wired only to the script parser silently skip the template block, where most user-facing strings live.

Edge cases

• Pug or other template languages need their own parser too
• Dynamic template bindings need static analysis to resolve
• Scoped styles never contain strings; excluding them is correct
