i18n backend error when translations are missing completely in namespace

[Megamannen]

This function can return a undefined and will cause an exception

const translations = await tolgee.loadRecord({
      language,
      namespace: ns,
  });

So this line crashes: https://github.com/tolgee/tolgee-js/blob/91fa105da2279e5e3317091ef816b88b5f0a3dd8/packages/i18next/src/tolgeeBackend.ts#L15

This is maybe the wanted behaviour, but I don't know if you want to solve it "upstream"

  callback(null, translations ? Object.fromEntries(translations) : []);

Hey, I think it's wanted behavior. Because i18next can have multiple backends and it tries to load that until it gets something else than undefined from the backend.

There can be case, where you want to search for data elsewhere when Tolgee doesn't have them. If I'd return empty array, I block the fallback, which is IMHO undesired.

But I guess it shouldn't throw an error, that I'll fix

[Megamannen]

Yeah, in that case something like

const translations = await tolgee.loadRecord({
          language,
          namespace: ns,
        });
        callback(null, translations ? Object.fromEntries(translations) : undefined);
