Failing to set `include` param causes all json imports to be parsed by i18n

Reporting a bug?

I did not set the include config param since I don’t use any translation files and just use <i18n> blocks.

This caused vite-plugin-vue-i18n to parse all json imports as message files. Such that a regular json import threw the error seen below:

file: .../app/src/app_config.json
error during build:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'message' of undefined

Expected behavior

No files should be parsed for messages when include is not specified.

Is there any version of vite-plugin-vue-i18n that works with Vue 2?

Unfortunately, vite-plugin-vue-i18n is not supported for Vue 2. 😞 currently, you can migrate to Vue 3 (vue-i18n@v9.x) from Vue 2 (vue-i18n@v8.x) with vue-i18n-composable + Composition API, or @vue/compat

migration step for vue-i18n-composable + Composition API

1. vue-i18n@8.x + Vue 2
2. vue-i18n@8.x + @vue/composition-api + vue-composable + Vue 2 (migrate to Composition API from options API)
3. vue-i18n@9.x + Vue 3 (if you use vite, you can use vite-plugin-vue-i18n)

migration step for Options API

1. vue-i18n@8.x + Vue 2
2. vue-i18n@v9.x (legacy mode) + @vue/compat
3. vue-i18n@v9.x (legacy mode or Composition API mode) + Vue 3 (if you use vite, you can use vite-plugin-vue-i18n)

Thanks @kazupon for clarifying, no problem. I can’t upgrade yet to Vue 3 due to other third-party dependencies. But I just moved all my <i18n> blocks into the JS section as an object instead which worked fine.
