./node_modules/.bin/ng-xi18n fails

[rkolec]

On clean angular-stater project: when I'm trying to generate translation file with ng-xi18n tool:
./node_modules/.bin/ng-xi18n --i18nFormat xlf

I'm getting error:

error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'source-map'

Same here. Could you find out how to solve this problem?

Welcome Angular 5!

If you rely on the date, currency, decimal, or percent pipes, in 5 you will see minor changes to the format. For applications using locales other than en-us you will need to import it and optionally locale_extended_fr from @angular/common/i18n_data/locale_fr and registerLocaleData(local).

Angular Update Guide - 4.0 -> 5.0 for Advanced Apps

Also >>> Angular and i18n

Is it that?

Did you update angular-cli? angular/angular-cli#8480

@zmnv Thanks for your quick answer. I double checked the update guide and couldn't find anything that's wrong. Well, the problem might be that I'm not using the CLI, but I'm trying to call the ng-xi18n binary directly (part of @angular/compiler-cli I think).

I end up doing the following as workaround. I installed @angular/cli as dev dependency, added a fake .angular-cli.json with "ejected": true and called ng xi18n. Now it seems to work.

Using Angular 5.2.3 and Angular CLI 1.6.7.

@MartinMa looks like shitty magic...

did you try to just for your interest to compile a clean MASTER package of this repository with i18n ?

'cause this starter pack doesn't include Angular CLI not just for fan )))

Anyway... There is a golden rule... It's worked? Don't tuch it!
