@Souvikns I think you have access to windows, can you help with this issue 🙏

[Tenischev]

here step by step drill down of commands, maybe this will help

[Souvikns]

OK, I am getting the same error on Mac as well.

[Souvikns]

The command is running on the codebase without any issue, but in production, it is not working, I checked and all other commands are working, might be something wrong with the generator.

Not a fix but you can run the command by passing --module flag run asyncapi generate fromTemplate --module=none <rest of the parameters>

Nope

generator do not support --module, the error comes like from TS compiler I think

[Souvikns]

@Tenischev can you install typescript globally and try to run the command, it worked for me.

Yeah, the generator is written in javascript, it is a typescript issue.

does it mean that typescript has to be moved to dependencies? it shouldn't be needed in production right? typescript should be required only in build time

typescript is just a compiler right we should not need it in production, no idea why this is happening.

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-files/publishing.html looking at this typescript could be used as a dependency

[derberg]

interesting

@Tenischev can you confirm if after typescript installation the issue was fixed?

Not confirmed

[chinma-yyy]

Working for me for the latest release

[derberg]

@Tenischev can you give it another try with latest 🙏

[Tenischev]

@derberg the problem still there

[Souvikns]

@Tenischev did you install the CLI using npm?

[derberg]

@Souvikns I don't think it matters. I had the same issue 2 days ago and did not have time to open a PR, but my idea for the fix was pretty dummy, removal of package-lock.json and then npm i to refresh dependencies and the lock file and add it to the PR. Cause 2 days ago I was playing with AsyncAPI CLI and AsyncAPI Generator CLI both from sources, and they both had issue and reinstallation of fresh dependencies fixed the problem. I suspect some dependency of dependency released some bug, and refresh of dependencies then makes a use of a fix I think. I hope that makes sense.

[Souvikns]

Oh ok, I will then open a PR updating the package-lock. I was thinking that maybe packaging it into different installers creates a problem.

[derberg]

@Tenischev 0.51 that was just released should fix it 🤞🏼

[Tenischev]

@derberg I have a small update here.
For the version @asyncapi/cli/0.54.4 win32-x64 node-v18.17.1.
CLI-Generator will work IF:

1. CMD is located in system volume (drive C for most Windows systems)
2. CMD is run with Administrator privileges.

In other cases I receive the same error "error TS6046: ..."
