Same problem.But npx ts-migrate-full <folder> can work.

I don't have a Windows system to test on, so I'll have to ask for more information.

Could it be that you're in a Bash shell, but there is no bash on your PATH? It would be unusual, but I guess not impossible.

What does the command which bash print? Does the command /usr/bin/env bash work?

Also, would it be possible to get the exact error message in English? Sorry, I am more familiar with English error messages and they are easier to Google.

When you check the files in ./node-modules/ts-migrate/bin it's only .sh files so not for windows users.

My understanding of the original issue is that Bash is available on the system, but for some reason is not able to run the script.

It might be a good idea to rewrite ts-migrate-full using JavaScript, which would probably solve for both issues.

Same problem for me. Please let me know if you need more info.

Hello. I think this is not a problem of ts-config. In theory, by installing some console with bash (like gitbash) it should work, but in my case, it didn't.

So I leave you with a way to install in Windows so it could work with Command Prompt Please check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36352627/how-to-enable-bash-in-windows-10-developer-preview

Cheers.
