Module loader: Making a mistake in language files the process finishes but install errors.

Type: Bug Type:Suggestion Priority:Moderate Area: Module Area: Studio Severity: Minor

### Issue I am creating a module, when using the module loader to install this …with errors in the language files the process happily finishes and no errors are reported but the navigation menu item of the main module/bean does NOT show up. Yes I made a mistake (shown below), but the Module Loader should pick this up and tell me off. Here's the manifest with lots of stuff chopped: ``` $manifest = array ( 'name' => 'MyModule', 'description' => 'module to show the loading error', 'version' => 1.0, 'author' => 'Jobst Schmalenbach', 'is_uninstallable' => true, 'published_date' => '2025-04-30 23:23:59', 'type' => 'module', 'remove_tables' => 'prompt', ); 'id' => 'MyModule', 'beans' => array ( 0 => array ( 'module' => 'MyModule', 'class' => 'MyClass', 'path' => 'modules/MyModule/MyClass.php', 'tab' => true, ), ), 'layoutdefs' => array ( ), 'relationships' => array ( ), 'language' => array ( 0 => array ( 'from' => '<basepath>/SugarModules/language/application/en_us.MyModule.php', 'to_module' => 'application', 'language' => 'en_us', ), 2 => array ( 'from' => '<basepath>/SugarModules/language/application/en_us.MyModuleAdmin.php', 'to_module' => 'Administration', 'language' => 'en_us', ), ), 'scheduledefs' => array( 0 => array( 'from' => '<basepath>/extensions/daily.php', ), 1 => array( 'from' => '<basepath>/extensions/hourly.php', ), ), 'administration' => array ( 0 => array ( 'from' => '<basepath>/admin/MyModuleAdminMenu.php' ), ), ); ``` Here are the two errors, I basically swapped the contents of the module application and admin language files: In the admin file I had: ``` <?php $app_list_strings['moduleList']['CalDavSync'] = 'CalDavSync'; ``` In the module application file I had ``` <?php $mod_strings['LBL_CALDAVSYNC_ADMIN_PANEL'] = 'CalDavSync Administration Panel'; ``` The install goes through happily, no warning in the PHP (php errors setting is not limited). The menu of the module never shows up. As soon as I fixed hte language files I had no issues. I know it was my error, but the error reporting system of the module loader is not good enough. Took me hours to find ... ### Possible Fix No idea, sorry. ### Steps to Reproduce the Issue ```bash 1.upload and install a module with errors in language files via Module Loader 2.process finishes 3.no errors reported 4.Menu item of the module (the main bean) missing ``` ### Context I spend quite a few hours on this to figure out why this happened. I basically started with a file from the module builder then added my stuff. Even then I had trouble to spot it because the language files were installed in the tree with no errors reported. I am a long time user/admin/developer of sugar/suitecrm, this really baffled me. ### Version 7.14.6 ### What browser are you currently using?

It also looks somehow similar to the bug we reported recently:

ModuleBuilder adds all application labels in new module creation

Type: Bug Priority:Important Area: Studio Severity: Major

### Issue When a package/module is created via ModuleBuilder, all instance appl…ication labels are incorrectly added in the package application language path. This might provoque an inconsistency with other labels when the package is deployed. Example: ![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0e7227a5-0338-4df0-9ba2-fb89d00e2119) This problem is even worse when working with multi-language instances. ### Possible Fix This bug was introduced with the Rector changes in this commit: [b966550ea57bfc68926258d6e32d0e8a1416a798](https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/commit/b966550ea57bfc68926258d6e32d0e8a1416a798). It is incorrectly adding all app_list_strings to the package application strings: [MBLanguage.php (lines 97-104)](https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/blob/a69b8fdce5e70d490ddd8f91f16395ee426b0e01/modules/ModuleBuilder/MB/MBLanguage.php#L97-L104). It seems that the variable `$app_list_strings` has always been empty, and the system was functioning just fine. However, this might have been an unnoticed bug until now. Since we are unsure about the purpose of that condition, we have decided, for now, to simply remove line 86. This is effectively the same as removing the entire function, as it is currently doing nothing. Therefore, the `loadAppListStrings` function should be properly analyzed to assess its necessity. ### Steps to Reproduce the Issue ```bash 1.Create a new Package 2.Add a new basic module and save it 3.Check in custom/modulesbuilder/packages/.../application/language that the file has all application labels. 4. After deploy, in a multi-language environment, many core labels are overriden. ``` ### Context We consider this as an critical issue. ### Version 7.14.6 ### What browser are you currently using? Chrome ### Browser Version _No response_ ### Environment Information PHP 8.3 and 8.4 ### Operating System and Version Ubuntu 23.10
