i18next Error: ENOENT

i have this:

  I18N =
    detectLngQS: "lang"
    resGetPath: "locales/__lng__/__ns__.json"
    ns: { namespaces: ['ns.common', 'ns.layout', 'ns.forms', 'ns.msg'], defaultNs: 'ns.common'}
    ignoreRoutes: ["images/", "public/", "css/"]
    extension:".json"
    debug: false

in my node-express application and my locales is as follows:

☺  tree -L 2 locales                                                                                                                            ruby-2.0.0-p195 master 02bd09a ✗""

i keep getting ENOENT messages in my console such as:

currentLng set to: fr-FR
loaded file: locales/fr-FR/ns.common.json
loaded file: locales/fr-FR/ns.layout.json
loaded file: locales/fr-FR/ns.forms.json
loaded file: locales/fr-FR/ns.msg.json
[ { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/fr/ns.common.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'locales/fr/ns.common.json' },
  { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/fr/ns.layout.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'locales/fr/ns.layout.json' },
  { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/fr/ns.forms.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'locales/fr/ns.forms.json' },
  { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/fr/ns.msg.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'locales/fr/ns.msg.json' } ]

what am i missing?

also, in some cases, i just want to use the fallback file, so for example en-UK, i don't have the ns.forms.json file so i get

locales en-UK
loaded file: locales/en-UK/ns.common.json
loaded file: locales/en-UK/ns.layout.json
loaded file: locales/en-UK/ns.msg.json
[ { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/en/ns.common.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'locales/en/ns.common.json' },
  { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/en/ns.layout.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'locales/en/ns.layout.json' },
  { [Error: ENOENT, open 'locales/en-UK/ns.forms.json']
    errno: 34,
    code: 'ENOENT',
    path: 'locales/en-UK/ns.forms.json' },

what is the correct way to fix this?

any advise much appreciated

Since there is still no fix for this in the Thread and yet one of the top Google hits to the Problem here the Solution:

var options = {
    preload: ['en-US','de-DE'],
    fallbackLng: 'en-US',
    cookieName: 'lng',
    saveMissing: true,
    debug: true,
    resGetPath: 'locales/__lng__/__ns__.json',
    lng: 'en-US',   
    /*this is the important part*/  
    load: 'current',
    languages: ['en-US','de-DE'],
    ns: {
        namespaces: ['app','buttons'],
        defaultNs: 'app'
    }
};

i18n.init(options, function (t) {/*loaded*/});

If load option is set to current i18next will load the current set language (this could be a specific (en-US) or unspecific (en) resource file).

Hint: to prevent loading the fallbackLng's resource file set fallbackLng to false.

my mistake, as i was setting the code at https://github.com/nkhine/node-blade-boiler-template/blob/master/public/js/locale.js#L15 to just take the first argument, so when i change the language from the client, it was setting it as en instead of en-UK as an example.
