Do not blow up the whole page if a variable is missing ? about ember-intl HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, @gzurbach. Thanks for providing your feedback. The error message is coming from @formatjs/intl-messageformat.

For [email protected] and above, you can find the file addon/-private/utils/formatjs.ts in your node_modules folder. Then, you can patch this file (in particular, the function onFormatjsIntlError()) so that v6.x addresses your case:

export function onFormatjsIntlError(error: IntlError): void {
  switch (error.code) {
+     case IntlErrorCode.FORMAT_ERROR: {
+       // Do nothing
+       break;
+     }
+ 
    case IntlErrorCode.MISSING_TRANSLATION: {
      // Do nothing
      break;
    }

    default: {
      throw error;
    }
  }
}

If you are on a version between 6.1.0 and 6.4.1, you can find the corresponding code in addon/services/intl.js (i.e. patch this file instead). The error codes are briefly described in https://github.com/formatjs/formatjs/blob/%40formatjs/intl%402.10.1/website/docs/guides/develop.md#format_error.

I don't know yet what the default for error handling for 7.x will be, so I could only provide a temporary patch as a possible solution. :)

Thank you for your thorough response, @ijlee2. I appreciate it. I should clarify that I am currently running [email protected].

I prefer not to resort to cloning or branching the library for this particular issue. My intention in reaching out was more of a suggestion for potential inclusion in a future version of ember-intl.

The proposal:

• For development builds: throw any FORMAT_ERROR.
• For production builds: consider displaying a warning or gracefully ignoring the error.

Thank you for your consideration!
