error when loading aurelia-validation plugin

Question

I am trying to setup aurelia-validation plugin in my project. I am using VS2015. I have installed aurelia-validation plugin using jspm install aurelia-validation command.

Config.js file has been updated "aurelia-validation": "github:aurelia/[email protected]" and in jspm_packages/github I see [email protected] folder.

I have added a plugin in my main.js file.

export function configure(aurelia) {

    aurelia.use
        .standardConfiguration()
        .developmentLogging()
        .plugin('aurelia-validation');

    aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
}

and have changed my aurelia-app to aurelia-app="main"

When I start the app I get the following error in Firefox console:

Unhandled promise rejection TypeError: aurelia.globalizeResources is not a function
Stack trace:

I have tried clearing jspm cache with jspm cc command but that didn't help. All my packages are up to date.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

Answer 1

There was a breaking change in Aurelia 0.15.0:

In the commit fix(all): create a property framework configuration object the globalizeResources method was renamed to globalResources

Since then (2015.08.13) the aurelia-validation plugin hasn't been updated.

You get the error because the aurelia-validation only supports aurelia 0.14.1 or older. So you have to downgrade your aurelia version to work with the validation plugin until it is not updated.

Answer 2

The accepted answer is correct. A quick fix (to avoid downgrading aurelia) would be to manually edit this line: https://github.com/aurelia/validation/blob/master/dist/system/index.js#L10

in your jspm_packages\github\aurelia\validation... folder

Also change any aurelia.withSingleton calls to aurelia.container.registerSingleton
