Running npx tsconfig.json opens a bash script (WIndows)

[omar-shahid]

The ouput:

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

It's because it's mistaking the file for a json file (because of the file ending), and instead of running it, it simply opens it

[BronzW]

How to fix:

1. Navigate to where Yarn or NPM has their bin (For yarn C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Yarn/bin and npm C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/npm) (thanks kevincharless))
2. Rename the tsconfig.json and tsconfig.json.cmd to tsconfig and tsconfig.cmd
3. Run it locally as just tsconfig and it should work (npx tsconfig.json wont)

@BronzW thanks for your solution!

Awesome @BronzW 🎉

It kind of worked for me except that I couldn't run it from writing tsconfig.
If you have the same problem just drag and drop the tsconfig.cmd to the vsCode terminal, where you have your project running and press enter.
Or change the following path accordingly with your username and press enter :
c:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Yarn/bin/tsconfig.cmd

Guys! I have changed the name of the files from cmd after navigating to C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/npm) from cmd. It works.

how i fix this issue

1. going to location
   C:\Users\shaur\AppData\Local\npm-cache_npx\bb22b66c4c94b5c9\node_modules.bin
   if this different your folder but i tell you how to navigate there

if this file is open just check the location of above
#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\,/,g')")

case uname in
CYGWIN|MINGW|MSYS) basedir=cygpath -w "$basedir";;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
"$basedir/node" "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
ret=$?
else
node "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

and remove this both file and then run npx tsconfig.json it work
