Thanks for reporting this, @toddbrady. We're looking into this problem. It looks like Node expects a special prefix when importing ES modules by absolute paths on Windows because it doesn't quite understand roots like C:/. It wasn't something we tested for. If this is really time-sensitive and you have access to a UNIX machine, I suggest running it on that.

Hey @toddbrady, are you able to run this in the WSL? We don't test or run any of our system in a windows environment.

[toddbrady]

@forrestbaer Unfortunately not. The machine I have is fairly locked down. Outside of being able to run Git Bash, I don't have access to Linux.

Bummer! Well since we don't have a windows environment to test in I'm hesitant to try to change something locally and hope it works for you. I will see about getting a windows license I can perhaps run in a VM, but in the meantime, if you'd like to work on this together I'd be happy to pair with you on your machine to adjust some things to see if we can get it working. You can PM me in slack user: BTZ8

Another option if you feel up to it would be to see if you can resolve the issue locally and submit a fix. The script and it's helpers are located in your node_modules/@cmgov/design-system@version/scripts/cmsds-migrate folder.

Sure thing. Let me see what I can do in the next day or two. I'll see if I can modify the script directly in the npm package, and see what happens.
