Feature suggestion #14528 (language detection override for new unknown ones) doesn't seem to be working

[ell1e]

Description

I just tested with Gitea 1.17.2, and the feature suggestion #14528 doesn't seem to be working even though I think the comments on the issue suggest it should be.

Basically, make a new repo, add some non-empty test file that ends in a new unused file extension like .bla, then add a .gitattributes line:

*.bla linguist-language=BlaLanguage

The expected result is that the lines of your .bla file get counted and show up as a new entry on the language bar of the repository labelled BlaLanguage. This is however not the case, it just seems to be ignored.

Same issue on my private instance with 1.16.9

It works until a certain point. The language gets detected

BlaLang: type unknown
Python: type programming

and sadly filtered out some lines later

gitea/modules/git/repo_language_stats_nogogit.go

Lines 187 to 195 in 94037ad

	// filter special languages unless they are the only language
	if len(sizes) > 1 {
	for language := range sizes {
	langtype := enry.GetLanguageType(language)
	if langtype != enry.Programming && langtype != enry.Markup {
	delete(sizes, language)
	}
	}
	}
