Awesome ! It saved me 3 days of boring work ^^ 🙏

Thanks, it helped a lot, suggestion to fix: if > 1 error on the line, it adds several // @ts-ignore like

      // @ts-ignore
      // @ts-ignore
      // @ts-ignore
      adminApi.authDeleteOrgMiddleware(req, res, next);

This can be fixed by changing line 31 to remove duplicates:

const lineNumbers = [...new Set(files[filename])]

Updated. Thx for the suggestion @gvannest @tim-prom
