No compiled file output when catalogsMergePath specified

[AlexLeoTW]

Describe the bug
In the tutorial (https://lingui.js.org/tutorials/cli.html#preparing-catalogs-for-production) , catalogsMergePath is mentioned.
To my understanding, is option is for merge language catalogs into a single file.
Yet specifying this in lingui.config.js, causing no file output.

To Reproduce

• Download this example (https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-qnfa4f)
• modify lingui.config.js, adding catalogsMergePath option, like so:

  module.exports = {
    locales: ["en", "sv"],
    sourceLocale: "en",
    catalogs: [
      {
        path: "<rootDir>/locale/{locale}/{name}",
        include: ["<rootDir>/components/{name}"],
      },
      {
        path: "<rootDir>/locale/{locale}/{name}",
        include: ["<rootDir>/pages/{name}"],
      },
    ],
    catalogsMergePath: "<rootDir>/local/{locale}",
  };

• run extract

  NODE_ENV=test npx lingui extract

• run compile

  npx lingui compile --verbose

Expected behavior
should see compiled file:

locale
├── en
│   ├── _app.jsx.po
│   ├── index.jsx.po
│   ├── LangSwitcher.js.po
│   ├── two.jsx.po
│   └── en.js
└── sv
    ├── _app.jsx.po
    ├── index.jsx.po
    ├── LangSwitcher.js.po
    ├── two.jsx.po
    └── sv.js

Additional context
maybe something is missing after doMerge?

Hello @AlexLeoTW, thank you for the report! I found out that your issue is a duplicate of #1233. I have identified where the issue is and will prepare a PR (#1341). Please follow the #1233 for more information 🙂

Futhermore, even after that issue is fixed, your setup won't exactly work currently. At the moment, Lingui replaces {locale} and {name} only once in the catalog paths as described in #1274 (I have prepared a PR that fixes that also – #1342).
