Erorr: f is not a function

After I upgraded to 0.8.6 from 0.8.3 I started getting the error “” in one of my mocha tests. I stepped in with the debugger and i noticed that f get’s compiled as an object and not as a function in i18n.__ = function i18nTranslate(phrase) {.

This particular key is an object, which in the past I was able to translate as an object and iterate over the translated strings.

  "roles": {
    "role1": "role1 name",
    "role2": "role2 name"
  }

My setup does enable object notation:

i18n.configure({
  directory: `${__dirname}/../../shared/locales`,
  objectNotation: true,
  updateFiles: false,
  defaultLocale: 'en',
  api: {
    __mf: 'translate',
    getLocale: 'locale'
  }
});

Is there a breaking change I am missing?

There has been a major version upgrade on messageformat in release 0.8.4 which also required a compatibility setting to keep passing my tests:

    // now head over to Messageformat
    // and try to cache instance
    if (MessageformatInstanceForLocale[targetLocale]) {
      mf = MessageformatInstanceForLocale[targetLocale];
    } else {
      mf = new Messageformat(targetLocale);

      // @see https://messageformat.github.io/messageformat/MessageFormat#disablePluralKeyChecks__anchor
      mf.disablePluralKeyChecks();
      mf.compiledFunctions = {};
      MessageformatInstanceForLocale[targetLocale] = mf;
    }

    // let's try to cache that function

to be honest I can’t tell wether the older messageformat compiled to functions or objects as I never tested on types but on results (https://github.com/mashpie/i18n-node/blob/master/test/i18n.mf.js)

well… this is good news. Could be that any of an npm update or yarn update is failing pulling newest version. A common solution is to cleanUp node_modules and/or yarn cache clean
