2.0.5: [vue-i18n-extract] Error: vueFiles glob has no files.

[Cyclodex]

Since today, my npm run script is not working anymore, it throws a error about vueFiles glob has no files..

I see there was a release 2.0.5 yesterday.
2.0.4 works perfectly fine.

My config file has:
vueFiles: "./src/**/*.?(ts|js|vue)",

Did you change something on the files matcher since 2.0.4?

My workaround for now is, to execute your 2.0.4 version:
"i18n:reportDeOnly": "npx [email protected] --languageFiles ./src/locales/de-CH.json",

[Spittal]

I didn't specifically, but I did update the glob package which might have changed the syntax?

Same problem with 2.0.5 and 2.0.6 version, even with a vue-i18n-extract.config.js file.

2.0.4 works but doesnt make the job for me because it doesnt recognize the --exclude parameter. (is it a bug too ?)

Same problem here

2.0.4 use glob ^7.1.6, 2.0.6 use glob ^8.0.1, and then Error: vueFiles glob has no files.
Please rollback glob to ^7.1.6, otherwise fix the bug.

but use glob alone work fine.

I think I have a theory that explains these issues.

The call to glob.sync(src):

vue-i18n-extract/src/create-report/vue-files.ts

Line 11 in 9680c12

const targetFiles = glob.sync(src);

receives the result of path.resolve(process.cwd(), vueFilesGlob):

vue-i18n-extract/src/create-report/index.ts

Line 24 in 9680c12

const vueFiles = readVueFiles(path.resolve(process.cwd(), vueFilesGlob));

where vueFilesGlob is something like "./src/**/*.?(js|vue)". Combined, the call is effectively something like this:

require('glob').sync(
  require('path').resolve(process.cwd(), "./src/**/*.?(js|vue)")
)

According to node-glob: changelog.md: 8.0:

Glob pattern paths must use forward-slashes as path separators, since \ is an escape character to match literal glob pattern characters.

On Windows, the following will result in a string containing two backslashes as path separators (i.e. \\ instead of /):

require('path').resolve(process.cwd(), "./src/**/*.?(js|vue)")

A naive fix for this could be to add something like .replace(/\\/g, '/') to the path before passing it to glob.sync.

I’m happy to file a pull request for this if that is indeed the case.

[mreduar]

I am sorry to say that this problem has not yet been solved on Windows with the latest version 2.0.7. Only works from npx command

@mreduar What’s the issue that’s occurring for you? Do you get any error messages?

Yes, the error message is as follows.

It should be noted that I have to use this command, because if I use it the way the readme example (with *.?(js|vue) and *.?(json|yml|yaml|js)) says it doesn't work either.
"vue)'" is not recognized as an internal or external command. is the error if I use it with the regular expression in that way.

Edit:

I have downloaded the repository and performed some tests.
I've placed a console.log on dist\vue-i18n-extract.umd.js:74 to see if the path is correct and if glob.sync(normalizedSrc); is returning the file correctly.

I have done the test with only one file, placing only that file with the relative path, so I modified the script in package.json and now it looks like this:
"demo": "node ./bin/vue-i18n-extract.js report --vueFiles ./tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue --languageFiles './tests/fixtures/lang/**/*.?(json)'",

And the error remains the same.

➜ npm run demo

I have checked that the path C:\Users\Eduar\Projects\vue-i18n-extract\tests\fixtures\vue-files\Basic.vue is correct, so it seems that the problem comes from glob.sync(normalizedSrc) Since it returns an empty array

[kleinfreund]

@mreduar Hey there,

After dist/vue-i18n-extract.umd.js:73, can you add console.log({ src, normalizedSrc }) and run the following (the same command you used above):

node ./bin/vue-i18n-extract.js report --vueFiles ./tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue --languageFiles './tests/fixtures/lang/**/*.?(json)'

On my machine, the two paths logged are these (I use Ubuntu):

{
  src: '/home/phil/dev/packages/vue-i18n-extract/tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue',
  normalizedSrc: '/home/phil/dev/packages/vue-i18n-extract/tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue'
}

In your case, I would expect the two to look like this:

{
  src: 'C:\\Users\\Eduar\\Projects\\my_project\\node_modules\\vue-i18n-extract\\tests\\fixtures\\vue-files\\Basic.vue',
  normalizedSrc: 'C:/Users/Eduar/Projects/my_project/node_modules/vue-i18n-extract/tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue'
}

If that is indeed the result that you’re getting, can you please tell us which version of glob is installed in your project (i.e. check the version field in the node_modules/glob/package.json file). Mine is v8.0.3.

In case this doesn’t lead to any useful results, you can also try and perform like this some specific tests around the glob package by running node in a terminal and then import the package and running glob.sync manually like this:

const glob = require('glob')
glob.sync('C:/Users/Eduar/Projects/my_project/node_modules/vue-i18n-extract/tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue')

That should yield results.

[mreduar]

I suspected it from the beginning, but I wasn't sure since I have no experience with javascript packages. My suspicion was that the files inside dist folder were not updated with respect to the changes you made in PR #166, so normalizedSrc is not an existing variable in the dist/vue-i18n-extract.umd.js file. It's only available in src\create-report-vue-files.ts, so I did a compile with npm run build and now the files are updated and I don't get the error and the console prints the files correctly and this is the console.log output

{
  src: 'C:\\Users\\Eduar\\Projects\\vue-i18n-extract\\tests\\fixtures\\vue-files\\Basic.vue',
  normalizedSrc: 'C:/Users/Eduar/Projects/vue-i18n-extract/tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue',
  targetFiles: [
    'C:/Users/Eduar/Projects/vue-i18n-extract/tests/fixtures/vue-files/Basic.vue'
  ]
}

[kleinfreund]

@mreduar Aha! That explains it. Yes, the files in the dist directory of the project have not been re-built. This should probably be done to simplify local development processes.

That means the fix is working for you then?

[mreduar]

@kleinfreund Yes, the solution in PR #166 works if I do the compilation in the package, however in the project I am using the package does not work as it needs to have the latest changes in dist I guess.
So it will be to send another PR with the compilation with the latest changes or have @Spittal do it.

[kleinfreund]

@mreduar I filed another PR for addressing this: #170

[mreduar]

Thank you so much @kleinfreund!

[woncode]

I also meet this error in version 2.0.7，I'm use windows 10.
my cmd is vue-i18n-extract report --vueFiles 'src/views/**/*.?(vue)' --languageFiles 'src/lang/zh.json'

I log the path as below

and find it become as below

so, fix this error need remove the quotation mark for vueFiles and languageFiles argument.

this cmd will work: vue-i18n-extract report --vueFiles src/views/**/*.?(vue) --languageFiles src/lang/zh.json

[diengv]

my window 11: fix done
vue-i18n-extract report --noEmptyTranslation=\"*\" --add true --vueFiles=\"./src/**/*.?(vue|ts)\" --languageFiles=\"./src/locales/*.json\"

[dadyday]

Will not work on windows.
Please fix: src = src.replace(/\\/g, '/'); in readLanguageFiles(src) and readVueFiles(src)

[fatih-koc]

Please fix this issue. We are not able to define multiple folders or a single /src folders.
