861163 - gettext errors at extraction caused by empty gettext calls in a template

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel (relman team) -> :pascalc|PTO until Sept 2]

./manage.py l10n_extract 
generates errors:

apps/styleguide/templates/styleguide/products/firefox-os-action-icons.html
/home/pascalc/repos/github/bedrock/apps/styleguide/templates/styleguide/products/firefox-os-action-icons.html:201: warning: Empty msgid.  It is reserved by GNU gettext: gettext("") returns the header entry with meta information, not the empty string.
/home/pascalc/repos/github/bedrock/apps/styleguide/templates/styleguide/products/firefox-os-action-icons.html:205: warning: Empty msgid.  It is reserved by GNU gettext: gettext("") returns the header entry with meta information, not the empty string.

etc.

This is because there are empty l10n calls in the template such as:
alt="{{ _('' )}}"
And gettext doesn't like that.
