SyntaxError in `npx svg-to-ts --conversionType files`

I try using svg-to-ts via npx: $ npx svg-to-ts --conversionType files -s ./icons -o ./iconDist

I got following output:

==========================================================

I’m hitting this same issue as well. For context what I’m doing is running it against @material-design-icons/svg located in node_modules (a few directories up due to some other project issues I’m working on.)

Running with svg-to-ts --config={path} in my package.json script for this.

Sample config:

const path = require('path');

const outputDirectory = path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'test-icon-output');

const svgToTsConfig = {
  srcFiles: ['../../../node_modules/@material-design-icons/svg/**/*.svg'],
  conversionType: 'files',
  outputDirectory,
  interfaceName: 'MyIcon',
  typeName: 'MyIconName',
  generateType: true,
  iconsFolderName: 'generated',
  delimiter: 'SNAKE',
  modelFileName: 'whatever-icon.model',
  barrelFileName: 'generated-icons-barrel',
  svgoConfig: {
    plugins: [
      'cleanupAttrs',
    ],
  },
  compileSources: false,
};

module.exports = svgToTsConfig;

Still doing some digging to try and see where the root cause is. Perhaps the extra details of what I’m targeting to convert may be useful though.

Update:

Just figured out part of my problem. The relative path for source files was running from where the command was, not the file. I updated my config to make srcDir in the same way as the output directory. Then appended **/*.svg to it for the srcFiles config.

I’m now past the outright failure and onto other issues to try and figure out.

@Garbee Thx a lot for the feedback. Feel free to open another issue once you know which source file namings caused the failure. Thx for the collaboration 👍
