I'm trying to use the TypeORM CLI to create a migration. I followed their guide but when I run yarn run typeorm migration:generate I get the error:
$ typeorm-ts-node-commonjs migration:generate
/usr/bin/env: ‘node --require ts-node/register’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines
error Command failed with exit code 127.
My package.json looks like this:
{
"name": "server",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"watch": "tsc -w",
"start": "node dist/index.js",
"dev": "nodemon dist/index.js",
"start2": "ts-node src/index.ts",
"dev2": "nodemon --exec ts-node src/index.ts",
"typeorm": "typeorm-ts-node-commonjs"
},

}
}
I managed to solve this by installing the cli as described here https://orkhan.gitbook.io/typeorm/docs/using-cli#installing-cli
Install ts-node globally npm install -g ts-node
add the following script to package.json: "typeorm": "node --require ts-node/register ./node_modules/typeorm/cli.js" instead of "typeorm": "typeorm-ts-node-commonjs"
then create a migration with:
yarn run typeorm migration:generate -p -d src/data-source.ts src/migrations/<filename without ending>
FYI For anyone facing similar issues: It took me a while to figure out that the various documentations on typeorm are confusing and conflicting at the moment because they just moved to v0.3.0 and not everything has been updated.
