fix(@angular/build): prevent externalizing builder-injected i18n locale data#33523
Merged
Conversation
…le data When a user externalizes `@angular/common` using the `externalDependencies` option, esbuild's wildcard external rule also marks any paths under `@angular/common/*` as external. This causes the builder-injected locale data imports (`@angular/common/locales/global/<code>`) inside the polyfills bundle to be externalized as bare imports, which fails at runtime because these files are not emitted as standalone public assets.

Code Review
This pull request ensures that builder-injected i18n locale-data imports are not externalized, even when @angular/common is marked as an external dependency. It updates execute-build.ts to prevent externalizing dependencies starting with LOCALE_DATA_BASE_MODULE, refactors i18n-locale-plugin.ts to use createProjectResolver instead of createRequire to resolve locale paths locally, and adds a new integration test to verify this behavior. There are no review comments, so I have no feedback to provide.
