Is this a regression?

Yes, this is a kind of regression. I'm not sure about the root cause, it worked well in one of my previous setups with earlier RC versions. This might be as regression in AngularCli itself or because of different babel versions which I might install.

Description

An error:

Localized bundle generation failed: [BABEL] unknown: Preset /* your preset */ requires a filename to be set when babel is called directly,
`
babel.transform(code, { filename: 'file.ts', presets: [/* your preset */] });
`
See https://babeljs.io/docs/en/options#filename for more information.
An error occurred inlining file "main.bd935ccfc875481a7ad2.js"

The error came from packages/angular_devkit/build_angular/src/utils/process-bundle.ts:614

try {
    ast = parseSync(options.code, { // <--- Error here
      babelrc: false,
      sourceType: 'script',
    });
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.message) {
     ...
    }
  }

And obviously caused by lacking filename param.

A clear and concise description of the problem...

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

To reproduce just add locales into angular.json i18n.locales and turn on localize in project options

(simplified angular.json)

  {
  "projects": {
    "timescenery": {
      "i18n": {
        "locales": {
          "ru": "src/translates/messages.ru.xlf",
          "de": "src/translates/messages.de.xlf",
          "es": "src/translates/messages.es.xlf",
          "pt": "src/translates/messages.pt.xlf"
        },
        "sourceLocale": "en"
      },
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "options": {
            "localize": true,
            "aot": true,
          },
        },
      }
    }
  }

Anything else relevant?

[petebacondarwin]

This might be caused by @angular/localize not pinning the Babel version?

[petebacondarwin]

Can you show what version of each of the @babel/.... packages are installed?

[timofei-iatsenko]

quote from yarn.lock

Localize is pinning @babel/core" "^7.5.5

All @babel/core versions deduped to 7.8.3

[timofei-iatsenko]

Well, downgrading @babel/core and rest of babel packages to 7.7.2 fixes the problem, but requires some hard work to downgrade 2nd level dependencies.

I think the issue is still actual as constatint in @angular/localize ^7.5.5 allows any 7.*.* versions including 7.8.* which is causing a crash.

[petebacondarwin]

This might well be fixed by angular/angular#34974, which is currently on master and should come out in the next RC.

[petebacondarwin]

This might help too angular/angular#35008

[timofei-iatsenko]

What about adding a filename into parseSync call? Looks like bumping dependency for localize to 7.8.3 will just make this error constant for everyone, or am I wrong?

[petebacondarwin]

Ah that will be a bug in @angular/devkit rather than @angular/localize. We need to fix that bug in this repo...

[petebacondarwin]

Interestingly the version in build_angular is already at 7.8.3:

angular-cli/packages/angular_devkit/build_angular/package.json

Line 14 in ca7973e

"@babel/core": "7.8.3",

[petebacondarwin]

See #16782

[timofei-iatsenko]

Looks like i brought clutter to this issue.
I continued investigation with debugger and what i found.

This error is triggered from @babel/core only in case if options.test || options.include || options.exclude is not empty.

I checked them, and test wasn't empty. There was an

That was quite suspiciously, so I went further and found that:

Despite the fact babelrc: false, is set the babel still reads my babel.config.js placed in the root, and take presets from there, and one of the presets requires filename to be set.

So I think problem here not only in filename property.

[timofei-iatsenko]

I need this babel.config for my subpakages in mono-repo which use jest for testing, so this config has absolutely nothing in common with angular-cli

[timofei-iatsenko]

So yes, deleting babel.config.js from root fixing the problem and proving theory that babel doesn't work in full isolation even babelrc: false is set.

It also proves that problem not related to the version of bable.
