moment-module: Error: MomentLocalesPlugin: Moment.js doesn’t include a locale you specified: de-ch.

I use the nuxt moment module like this:

modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/proxy',
    '@nuxtjs/axios',
    ['@nuxtjs/moment', { locales: ['de-ch'], defaultLocale: 'de-ch' }],
    ...

Which seems to work, but as soon as I change something to the nuxt.config.js I get the following error:

Error: MomentLocalesPlugin: Moment.js doesn’t include a locale you specified: de-ch. Check the plugin’s localesToKeep option. You can see the full list of locales that Moment.js includes in node_modules/moment/locale/

I think the locales array is actually the localesToKeep, am I right? So it is actually not missing…

I also checked the locale itself. Normally I would expect it to be de-CH but moment has a file de-ch in which it is also called directly de-ch – all lowercase. Changing the locale to ‘de’ does not resolve the issue either.

What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Well if this is a blocking issue for you (I mean, being forced to stop and start manually again and again IS some sort of blocking issue to me 😄), there is a temporary workaround:

Just create your own module:

// modules/moment-reset.js
import moment from 'moment';

module.exports = function momentResetModule(moduleOptions) {
  moment.locale('en');
};

And inject it in your nuxt.config.js modules property BEFORE you inject @nuxtjs/moment:

// nuxt.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  modules: [
    // ...
    '@/modules/moment-reset',
   [ '@nuxtjs/moment', ['de-ch']],
    // ...
  ],
  // ...
};

This simple module is in charge of resetting your moment instance to the “en” locale (which is built into moment by default). I guess you have your own plugin to initiate moment to your desired locale (in your case “de-ch”).

If you have a better workaround, this would be interesting 😉

Thx

Any update on this ?

I thought things maybe have changed since the docs now say to use buildModules and I thought there was an update on this issue as well or may have changed the loading behaves…

The problem still remains though. I added your moment-reset and at least for the first rebuild it worked. I hope it continues to do so.
