Does not copy the i18n folder to the dist

[volbrene]

Hello again,
the i18n folder is not moved into the dist folder. Is there any idea why this is the case? My path is src/i18n. Am I missing any extra configurations that are not documented?

When I run "npm run start:dev" the following error occurs:

[Nest] 48830   - 25.02.2020, 16:05:01   [I18nService] failed getting languages +0ms
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/dist/i18n/'

@volbrene of you have a default project (created by the nestjs cli tool) it won't copy those files for you. So you should do this yourself.

I'll add a guide to the readme file how to do this later this week :) (it's not that hard)

Thank you very much :)

@volbrene If you created your project with the @nestjs/cli you have this file nest-cli.json in the root.

To enable nest to copy the i18n folder you need to have something like this:
nest-cli.json

{
  "collection": "@nestjs/schematics",
  "sourceRoot": "src",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "assets": ["i18n/**/*"]
  }
}

Thank you :)

this did not worked with me I am using nestJS version 6

@agile-apoorvdodiya I guess nest js version 6 doesn't support this feature yet.

For me I had to also specify the outDir for where I wanted to place the i18n in dist, incase this helps anyone:

{
  "collection": "@nestjs/schematics",
  "sourceRoot": "src",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "assets": [{ "include": "i18n/**/*", "watchAssets": true, "outDir": "dist/src/" }]
  }
}
