Parsing error / "No such file or directory" after "Reset the Weblate repository and reapply translations"

[fnetX]

In one of the projects I help to manage, there was an error pushing to the upstream that I didn't fully understand.

About the original error, which might or might not be relevant

Weblate was showing one outgoing and one missing commit. I thought it would just force-push the branch. From the error message, it is not clear to me whether or not Weblate even attempted to force-push the branch and I found no way to control this even.

Anyway, since I was the only one doing changes to the component recently, I decided not to care and see if I could fix it by force.

I decided to use the

Reset the Weblate repository and reapply translations

Resets Weblate’s repository to match upstream and replace upstream translations with the current state from Weblate. Use when you want Weblate to be the authority for translations. It will keep changes from Weblate but bring its repository in sync with the upstream repository.

Functionality. From my understanding, it would make sure to keep the correct Git upstream state and just write the translations I created into the fresh state.

This has fixed the repository it seems, but a few seconds after, I got an email with "Parsing failed" and

Error message

No such file or directory

Failing file

locale/yranks.de.tr

Apparently, it tried to write my changes into the language I just created, but did not create the language file. This seems rather unintuitive. I expected Weblate to also create the translation files (if necessary) to write the changes I did (I effectively created the language recently).

The question: How can I go from here and recover the translations I did in this file?

[fnetX]

OK, I found the option I was looking for. I forgot that Weblate considers "Git" and "Git with force push" as separate version control systems. When "Git" is selected in the option, it was apparently the latest place I was looking for an option to check if force-push is enabled. I assumed it was the default since I found no setting to control it.

I still wonder know why the "reapply translations" was unable to write my new translations to a file. Is it a bug that Weblate assumes the translation file already exists and doesn't create it, or is it another case of Weblate being not really obvious?

Also, I confirmed that the translations I did in the past are available in the translation memory when exporting it to a file. However, I cannot see these things anywhere in the UI. They are not in the history and also don't show up in the automatic suggestions, although they probably should?
