cc/ @nodejs/platform-windows thoughts? This looks like an oversight to me, but maybe I'm missing something. |

@richardlau agreed, but that could be a separate PR |

Spoke to @BethGriggs offline and the issue being seen with tests with the shared library on Windows was on Node.js v4.x. The default value of --without-intl in v4.x is none (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v4.8.7/configure#L325) whereas in v6.x and later it is small-icu (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v6.12.2/configure#L363). So this is only an issue for v4.x and is not needed for later versions.
|
What is the conclusion here? |
|
I think the PR needs to be retargeted at Node 4.x, but I'll have to check with @BethGriggs . |

This PR has been retargetted at v4.x since the discrepancy between whether or not ICU is enabled exists in that release line (since in v4.x configure defaults intl to none) but not on later release lines (i.e. v6.x, etc where configure defaults intl to small-icu).
We (IBM) intend to float this patch for our own builds, but it would be nice if we didn't have to, hence this PR for v4.x.

Please could you also set download_arg="--download=all" (also for the dll option) as v4.x does not contain an in-tree copy of ICU.

originally it was desired to not automatically download without the user opting in

Fair point. What happens though if small-icu is used where there is no local ICU?

To answer my own question:
Looking for Visual Studio 2015
Found Visual Studio 2015
configure --with-intl=small-icu --dest-cpu=x64 --tag=
ctrpp not found in WinSDK path--using pre-gen files from tools/msvs/genfiles.
creating icu_config.gypi
* ECMA-402 (Intl) support didn't find ICU in deps\icu..
Warning: Not downloading package "icu". You could pass "--download=all"
(Windows: "download-all") to try auto-downloading it.
Cannot build Intl without ICU in deps\icu.
(Fix, or disable with "--with-intl=none" )
Failed to create vc project files.
So for v4.x it doesn't seem to make sense to specify set i18n_arg=small-icu without also specifying set download_arg="--download=all". Note this is currently done for the msi option and I think package and dll should do the same for consistency:

Change the Windows .dll builds to include small-icu by default for parity with the regular and msi build options.

I don't think we plan to do another 4.x release that isn't security related. Does it make sense to keep this open? |
I'm undecided. On the one hand I agree that we aren't likely to do another 4.x release. On the other, if we do do a release, then we would miss this once it's closed. If you're 90% sure we won't do another non-security release, then yeah, let's close. |
|
@gibfahn I'm 99% sure there is no reason to do another non security release |
|
Closing due to the mentioned concerns about getting this landed. In case surprisingly there will be another release I guess it will also be possible to remember this and reopen and land it. @BethGriggs thanks a lot for your contribution anyway! It is much appreciated. |
Change the Windows .dll builds to include small-icu by default for
parity with the regular and msi build.
I noticed this while running the tests against the windows shared library.
