How to set the loader locale?

When I run my application in the browser, I can specify locale: 'en' as part of dojoConfig. When I run the tests in Node.js, the locale setting is the default value en. When I run the tests in a browser, the locale setting is set with the top preferred language of the browser (which is French in my case)...

I tried without success to set locale: 'en' as part of the loader configuration in my Intern config file:

return {
    useLoader: { 'host-browser': 'node_modules/dojo/dojo.js' },
    loader: {
        locale: 'en',
        packages: [{
            name: 'dojo',
            location: 'src/libs/dojo'
        }, {
        ...
    }
};

How can I set the locale setting for my tests running into the browsers? As I've two Intern config files, I don't mind doing something different for Node.js and for the browsers.

Solution

  • I just hit the same issue (because dojo/_base/config.js was blowing up due to navigator.language being empty and navigator.userLanguage being undefined in my Firefox installation), and needed to get a locale set.

    I ended up resorting to adding this to my testconfig.js:

    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
    // We're running inside a browser.
    window.dojoConfig = window.dojoConfig || {};
    window.dojoConfig.locale = window.dojoConfig.locale || "en-us";
}

    Not sure whether that's 'the correct' way to do it, but it seems to be working for me with Intern 2.1.1.
