#19584 closed Bug (fixed)

compilemessages does not report error when msgfmt fails or is missing

Description

compile_messages does not check and propagate the return code of the os.system call to msgfmt :

​https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/commands/compilemessages.py#L51

A quick grep tells that it's the only unchecked usage of os.system in Django.

In dfa9324966ce1a38346d15e35805d042848aabf1:

Don't use os.system() in compilemessages.

Fixes #19584.

This implies stop storing file path command line arguments in envvars as
a security measure to start relying on with Popen's shell=False instead,
and addition of an 'utils' module.

Thanks kmichel_wgs for the report.

Made (make|compile)messages check for availability of gettext commands.

Refs #19584.
