Workaround for gettext.extract issue with umbrella app

gettext.extract.umbrella.ex

defmodule Mix.Tasks.Gettext.Extract.Umbrella do
  use Mix.Task
  @recursive false

  def run(args) do
    unless Mix.Project.umbrella?() do
      msg =
        "Cannot run task gettext.extract.umbrella from place " <>
          "other than umbrella application root dir."

      Mix.raise(msg)
    end

    _ = Application.ensure_all_started(:gettext)
    force_recompile_and_extract()

    Mix.Task.run("gettext.extract", args)
  end

  defp force_recompile_and_extract do
    Gettext.Extractor.enable()
    Mix.Task.run("compile", ["--force"])
  after
    Gettext.Extractor.disable()
  end
end

You, sir, are my hero. Thank you so much. <3

Hi @amatalai I couldn't use your Workaround, I crate a folder on "apps/mix/tasks/gettext.extract.umbrella.ex" after that I call it

mix gettext.extract.umbrella
warning: path "apps/tasks" is a directory but it has no mix.exs. Mix won't consider this directory as part of your umbrella application. Please add a "mix.exs" or set the ":apps" key in your umbrella configuration with all relevant apps names as atoms

for first time it compiles and show me some warning . should I create a project just for Gettext? do you have any example ?
