What version of node/npm? Also, can you paste the contents of your bower.json here?

@kohenkatz thanks. Are you getting any errors? Do you know if any of those Bower packages exist in npm under the same name?

This isn't a very sophisticated tool, it simply tries to copy the bower.json entries to package.json. It doesn't check if they exist in npm or anything like that. If that is the problem you're having, then just remove the entries from package.json that don't work. If not (i.e. you're actually getting an error), then let me know.

All it's supposed to do is copy entries over, the rest is up to you to figure out. If you want it to do more, I'm happy to accept a PR adding features. :)

[kohenkatz]

I get no error message, and (as @HansHammel originally described), nothing is added to package.json but the file's Date Modified is changed.

[therealklanni]

OK, something might be failing silently. I will look into this ASAP. Thanks for the extra details.

I am having the same issue. I have a bower.json and one already existing package.json. When I run bower migrate, nothing copies over. I only get one new entry in my package.json. Which is the name-entry. But none of the dependencies or anything moved over. npm: '5.5.1' node: '8.6.0'

[CNSKnight]

Make sure that your (likely virgin) package.json includes "dependencies": {} and "devDependencies": {} properties before attempting $ bower-migrate

This worked great for me using node v9.5.0 and npm v5.7.1.
