Slang does generate the source

[soernt-poppe]

Slang does not generate the source, I don't see any error messages related to the source generation.

My setup:

localization.json:

{
  "base_culture": "de-DE"
}

AppLocalization.cs

[Translations(InputFileName = "locals")]
public partial class AppLocalization
{   
}

locals_de-DE.i18n.json

{
  "Shared": {
    "Menu": {
      "Titel": "Menü",
      "Items": {
        "Home": "Home",
        "AboutMe": "Über mich",
        "Services": "Services",
        "ServicesProjects": "Projekte",
        "Contact": "Kontakt"
      }
    },
    "Footer": {
      "Impress": "Impressum & Datenschutz"
    }
  }
}

locals_en-GB.i18n.json

{
  "Shared": {
    "Menu": {
      "Titel": "Menu",
      "Items": {
        "Home": "Home",
        "AboutMe": "About Me",
        "Services": "Services",
        "ServicesProjects": "Projects",
        "Contact": "Contact"
      }
    },
    "Footer": {
      "Impress": "Imprint & Privacy Policy"
    }
  }
}

The Project file contains these relevant elements:

  <ItemGroup>
    <AdditionalFiles Include="**\*.i18n.json" />
    <AdditionalFiles Include="Features\Core\Localization\localization.json"/>
  </ItemGroup>

I was finally able to generate the source, but I observed some strange behaviour.

When I set the "base_culture" to "de":

"base_culture": "de"

and rename the "locals_de-DE.i18n.json" to "locals.i18n.json".
The the source files get generated.

Regarding to your documentation, the "locals.i18n.json" contains the translation for the base culture.
When I change the base_culture back to de-DE:

"base_culture": "de-DE"

The files will not be generated. It looks like that the base_culture must be country only!?

So I set the base_culture back to "de" and created a new file "locals_de-DE.i18n.json"
In total I have now:

• locals.i18n.json
• locals_de-DE.i18n.json
• locals_en-GB.i18n.json

The source files get not generated.

What did I do wrong here?

I can't reproduce the issue. Are you using the latest version of the library?

If possible, I’d appreciate a link to a repository that demonstrates the problem. You can create a separate repo with a minimal code example.
