Kaminari-cells pulls in ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper

[johnlane]

I was having problems with translations in a cell after adding Kaminari to it.

I found that ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper was taking precedence over my Trailblazer::Translations. I tracked this down to kaminari-cells.rb.

#11   include ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper

Does this gem really need a hard dependency on ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper ?

As a work-around, I have put a method in the classes where I have Kaminari::Cells:

def t(*args)
  Trailblazer::Translation.t(*args)
end

How do you insert your Trailblazer::TranslationHelper?

[johnlane]

Currently I am including it into Cell::Concept in an initializer:

Cell::Concept.class_eval do
  include Cell::Erb
  include Trailblazer::Translation
  extend  Trailblazer::Translation

 ... other stuff ...

end

You could use prepend.... cough

The effect of prepend is to move Trailblazer::Translation up, but not up far enough...

I've only quickly tried this, I'll give it some more attention tomorrow...

This blows things up with cells-slim because ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper helpfully pulls its friend CaptureHelper along, which overrides the with_output_buffer method from Cell::Slim. Do you see a way of fixing this, or, can I open a PR to add a caveat and workaround to the README?

[apotonick]

We should probably just write our own translation "helper" and avoid any Rails mess code?

Alright 👍 let me see if it's something I can look into
