weblate.ini has no effect on Windows

[Karmalakas]

Describe the issue

I was following instructions how and where to store config files. Specifically this:

.weblate, .weblate.ini, weblate.ini
Per project configuration file

C:\Users\NAME\AppData\weblate.ini
User configuration file on Windows.

<...>

Additionally API keys can be stored in the [keys] section:

[keys]
https://hosted.weblate.org/api/ = APIKEY

This allows you to store keys in your personal settings, while using the .weblate configuration in the VCS repository so that wlc knows which server it should talk to

So I have .weblate on my project root where I run wlc commands:

[weblate]
url = https://weblate.example.com/api/
translation = my-project

And I also have weblate.ini on C:\Users\NAME\AppData\:

[keys]
https://weblate.example.com/api/ = wlu_MY_KEY

Just to keep my keys separate..

And it doesn't work.
It works if I move [keys] from AppData/weblate.ini to project/.weblate

Also, if I move this part to /AppData/weblate.ini:

[weblate]
url = https://weblate.example.com/api/

then I get:

Request failed: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=8000): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/projects/

I found this very old issue about wlc docs lacking info for Windows users and was thinking in my case there's also something undocumented, but I've no clue what's missing

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar filed issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install wlc
2. Add weblate.ini with [keys] to /AppData
3. Add .weblate with [weblate] to /project/root
4. Run wlc list-projects in project root

Expected behavior

Projects are listed

It seems that APPDATA (what Weblate uses) points to AppData\Roaming these days (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/13184486/225718). Can you try placing the configuration there?

[Karmalakas]

Yes, moving to /Roaming did the trick 🙏 Thank you!
I see you made some changes in the code already, so I will leave at your discretion when to close this issue 🤔
