Missing file - public/javascripts/i18n.js

[ViktorNova]

New install - server crashes saying that public/javascripts/i18n.js does not exist

I got it running by copying the file from the old repo, but just letting ya know!

This should be generated on startup. Make sure node has permissions to write to the public/js folder.

The same thing happened for me. Permissions look fine. I'm still looking into why it may have happened.

Okay the problem is in lib/api/i18n.js InternationalizationAPI.prototype.update.

This line: existingTranslations = fs.readFileSync((compound.parent ? compound.parent.root : compound.root) + '/public/javascripts/i18n.js'); throws an exception when the i18n.js file doesn't exist yet.

It's easily fixed by either catching the exception and using empty string for existingTranslations or by using fs.exists to make sure its there first. I could send a pull request if you want.
