E8106 error

Base locale file missing

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

The package imports wowlua:locale, but the base locale's file is missing. The base locale (enUS by default) defines the keys, and its strings are used wherever a translation lacks a key. Add locales/enUS.json, or set build.locale-base to the locale your strings are written in.

Example

× failslocales/deDE.jsonjson

{ "TITLE": "Kill-Tracker" }

src/main.wowluawowlua

import L from "wowlua:locale"print(L)

✓ compileslocales/enUS.jsonjson

{ "TITLE": "Kill Tracker" }

locales/deDE.jsonjson

{ "TITLE": "Kill-Tracker" }

src/main.wowluawowlua

import L from "wowlua:locale"print(L.TITLE)

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E8106]: the base locale `locales/enUS.json` is missing
 = in locales
 = help: it defines the keys; `build.locale-base` names another base
