converting text to a key isn't working

I have a .vue file and in that vue file, I have a tag like this:

Player

I select Player and the lightbulb shows up with the option to “extract text into i18n messages”. I select that option and a message box pops up that asks me for the key value, I enter navbar.player. It then asks me what text to replace Player with in the template. I choose '{{$t(‘navbar.player’)}}. It then asks me for the path to en.json. I enter: _initial.json and hit enter.

After I do that, nothing changes in _initial.json. The key value pair is not added. And I see no error message or anything.

The other part of this is that I have the following file structure, which the docs say doesn’t need any configuration. The only configuration I have is “i18n-ally.keystyle”: “nested”,

here is the file structure: src/locales -en-us –_initial.json –componentA.json -fr –_initial.json –componentA.json

Ok. I will work on creating a reproducible repo. It may take me a while. I am neck deep in trying to get Vue unit testing setup on my project.

let’s consider this one closed since the issue was bad config in the workspace VSCode settings. I might open another one about using typescript
