What format do you use for your linguirc config file?

[ryanb]

@thekip I'm getting this error as well. I don't have a linguirc file but I have a lingui.config.js file.

[xchwarze]

The same thing has been happening to me since yesterday.
I tried to force the version of lingui to the one I had originally installed but for some reason it keeps throwing this error.

[adamsoderstrom]

Running into this error as well.
It is my first time setting it up, though.
Compared to @ryanb, i'm using a .linguirc file.

[timofei-iatsenko]

Would be fixed by this: #1403

I am still hitting this issue with the latest 3.17.1 version, using Vite:

Is this expected?

Adding this to my Vite config fixes the issue btw:

optimizeDeps: { exclude: ["ts-node"] },

[timofei-iatsenko]

No, and it's strange that vite is trying to bundle it. Are you sure you are not importing a macro without the corresponding babel/swc plugin?

[renchap]

I am using @lingui/vite-plugin in my vite config, babel-plugin-macros in my @vitejs/plugin-react babel plugins config, and not using SWC, so I dont think so?
