Problem running the npm script

[rissom]

I followed the tutorial a while ago and everything worked as expected. However, I now cleaned up a few things and reinstalled xliffmerge, again following the tutorial page. Using my old trusted npm scipt command, (or the even newly installed script command) I get an error:

ERROR: language "C:\www\OXPV-BRB-DB\frontend\node_modules\@ngx-i18nsupport\ngx-i18nsupport\xliffmerge\xliffmerge" is not valid

Funny enough I can execute the two parts of the npm skript seperately and they seem to work. I should probably mention that I work on Windows-system. The log file the error message refers to looks like this:

Any ideas, what the problem could be?

The scripts look like this:

  "scripts": {
...,
    "i18n": "ng xi18n --output-path ./src/locale && xliffmerge --profile xliffmerge.json en de",
    "extract-i18n": "ng xi18n Frontend --i18n-format xlf --output-path i18n --i18n-locale de && ng run Frontend:xliffmerge",
...

Ok, I solved it. The problem was that I had changed the path for the .xlif files before. I first tested both parts seperately until they worked: "i181": "ng xi18n --output-path ./src/locale", "i182": "ng run Frontend:xliffmerge --profile xliffmerge.json", And then combined them to: "i18n": "ng xi18n --output-path ./src/locale && ng run Frontend:xliffmerge --profile xliffmerge.json"
