Message compiler still ships with dist with runtime only about vue-i18n-next

[kazupon]

Thank you for your reproduction!
I've checked your reproduction

you need to configure vite.config.ts the below:

import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'node:url';
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
import VueI18nPlugin from '@intlify/unplugin-vue-i18n/vite';
import { dirname, resolve } from 'node:path';

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  define: {
    // Optimize build for prod
    'process.env.NODE_ENV': `"${process.env.NODE_ENV}"`,
    // NOTE: you don't configure `resolve.alias`, because `@inlityf/unplugin-vue-i18n` will configure it internally
    // __VUE_I18N_FULL_INSTALL__: false,
    // __VUE_I18N_LEGACY_API__: false,
    // __INTLIFY_PROD_DEVTOOLS__: false,
  },
  // NOTE: yon don't configure `resolve.alias`, because `@inlityf/unplugin-vue-i18n` will configure it internally
  // resolve: {
  //   alias: {
  //     'vue-i18n': 'vue-i18n/dist/vue-i18n.runtime.esm-bundler.js',
  //   },
  // },
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    VueI18nPlugin({
      // locale resource pre-compile option
      include: resolve(
        dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)),
        './src/locales/**'
      ),
      fullInstall: false,
      dropMessageCompiler: true, // you need to set `true`
    }),
  ],
});

about dropMessageCompiler, see the here: https://github.com/intlify/bundle-tools/tree/main/packages/unplugin-vue-i18n#dropmessagecompiler

And you need to upgrade vue-i18n v9.3 or later.

Thanks!

Would you be able to provide a reproduction 🙏

More info

Why do I need to provide a reproduction?

Reproductions make it possible for us to triage and fix issues quickly with a relatively small team. It helps us discover the source of the problem, and also can reveal assumptions you or we might be making.

What will happen?

If you've provided a reproduction, we'll remove the label and try to reproduce the issue. If we can, we'll mark it as a bug and prioritise it based on its severity and how many people we think it might affect.

If Status: Need More Info labeled issues don't receive any substantial activity (e.g., new comments featuring a reproduction link), we'll close them. That's not because we don't care! At any point, feel free to comment with a reproduction and we'll reopen it.

How can I create a reproduction?

We have a couple of templates for starting with a minimal reproduction:

👉 Reproduction mininal starter
👉 Reproduction starter with unpluguin-vue-i18n

A public GitHub repository is also perfect. 👌

Please ensure that the reproduction is as minimal as possible.
