Dependency scan fails: Unable to resolve import for ../locales/**/*.po.

[anshiq]

When running the Cowswap frontend locally or inside a Docker dev container, the build process fails during dependency scanning due to an unresolved import for localization files.

Error Output

(!) Failed to run dependency scan. Skipping dependency pre-bundling.
Error: Failed to scan for dependencies from entries:
/workspaces/cowswap/apps/cowswap-frontend/index.html
/workspaces/cowswap/apps/cowswap-frontend/public/451.html

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve import("../locales/**/*.po")

apps/cowswap-frontend/src/lib/i18n.tsx:86:33:
86 │ const catalog = await import(../locales/${locale}.po)
╵

Steps to Reproduce

Clone the repository.

Install dependencies:

yarn

Start the development server:

yarn start

The build fails with the above error, both:

When running locally, and

When running inside the Docker dev container.
Can anyone please help me setting up.

Hi @anshiq

Thank you for reporting this issue. Could you try this version #6423 on branch fix/i8n-build-error to see if it works for you?

@fairlighteth , I am just early starting my career. So help me correcting my steps:

1. git fetch && git checkout fix/i8n-build-error
2. yarn
3. yarn start

and i open the live port in my browser and in console errors still the same catch statement is being executed

try {
     const catalogLoader = loaders[`../locales/${locale}.po`] || loaders[`../locales/${locale}.js`]

     if (!catalogLoader) {
       throw new Error(`Missing locale catalog for ${locale}`)
     }

     const catalog = await catalogLoader()
     // Bundlers will either export it as default or as a named export named default.
     const messages = catalog.messages || catalog.default?.messages || catalog.default || {}
     i18n.load(locale, messages)
     i18n.activate(locale)
   } catch (error) {
     // Do nothing
     console.error('Could not load locale file: ' + locale, error)
   }

, if it is really an issue, can you little bit guide me how to solve this, i would like to pick up if its priority is low on your side.
