[CAP][CDS-TS] Powershell -> The term 'ts-node.exe' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet,..

[tobias_steckenborn]

Hi there,

When trying to use cds-ts with PowerShell I received the following error message:

&: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm\cds-ts.ps1:15:5
Line |
  15 |    & "ts-node$exe"  "$basedir/node_modules/@sap/cds-dk/bin/cds-ts.js"  …
     |      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | The term 'ts-node.exe' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Removing $exe solves the issue for me. Might be something to look into.

Best regards,

Tobias

Inside the cds-ts-ps1 file, I commented the assignment of $exe=".exe" (row 8 in my version) and then it works. I don't need any npx commands as an alternative..

Hello CAPpers,

after following other suggestions as well to save adjustment efforts of the cds-ts module all the time, I I've tried to set newly installed Powershell 7 as default under settings in Terminal as well, so VSCode opens new Powershell 7 (pwsh) as default terminal.
I stilled faced the issue, as alternate I tried to run it with

npx cds-ts run 

It seems working properly including debugging, so I started to use it in package.json and launch.json in VSCode.

Best regards

Attila

How do I configure package.json to use the "npx cds-ts run" command?

TypeScript is intened for dev-time. For deployment you compile to normal JavaScript. Check out https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/tools/cds-typer#integrate-into-your-build-process for the details.
