Cannot run the soy compiler against templates

[Peter StJ]

I have not been using closure tools for awhile and today started an improvement on an old project, first step - rebuild everything to make sure things are in order (new compiler, new template compiler etc).

However I cannot figure out what is wrong with the template compiler: it always says that it cannot find the file:

java -jar ../../templates/new/SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar --locales en --outputPathFormat '{INPUT_FILE_NAME_NO_EXT}_generated_{LOCALE}.js'   --srcs templates/app.soy

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException:  (No such file or directory)

        at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)

        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195)

        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)

        at com.google.template.soy.SoyToJsSrcCompiler.main(SoyToJsSrcCompiler.java:243)

However the file exists and has all the needed permissions (it 666 actually). Tried with and without the `--srcs` flag - the same result always. 

ls -al templates/

drwxrwxr-x  2 peterj peterj 4096 Feb  4 00:44 .

drwxrwxr-x 16 peterj peterj 4096 Jul  6 14:07 ..

-rw-rw-rw-  1 peterj peterj 7973 Jun 22 13:15 app.soy

-rw-rw-r--  1 peterj peterj  147 Feb  3 01:11 README.txt

Java is 

java version "1.8.0_131"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

The compiler is the one downloaded from the link in github repo (prebuilt).

The thing is that it used to work : the original command used was 

java -jar ../../templates/SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar --locales en --messageFilePathFormat "" --shouldProvideRequireSoyNamespaces --shouldGenerateJsdoc --outputPathFormat 'tpl/{INPUT_FILE_NAME_NO_EXT}.soy.js' templates/*.soy ../pstj/templates/*.soy ../smjs/templates/*.soy

It says: INTERNAL SOY ERROR.

Please open an issue at https://github.com/google/closure-templates/issues with this stack trace and repro steps

I would open an issue but it happens with ALL my soy files, some of them no older than a year and all written in the new syntax..

I hope someone can point me to what might be happening. 

Thanks

I don't understand your command-line invocation. You're saying that you want per-locale bundles (the {LOCALE} part) but you're not providing localized messages anywhere. Did you leave something out?

Ooohhh... I got it now, it cannot find the XLF file, not the soy file. Feel so stupid now, thank you Nick. Sorry for the fuss.
