[JerryWn12]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

The arguments start with '--' won't pass to program when using npm run --
main.js
console.log(process.argv)
commands:
npm run start -- --test=text
output:
(won't show --test=text argument)
screenshot:

Expected Behavior

the argument start with '--' should output normally

[
  'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\node-v18.16.0-win-x64\\node.exe',
  'C:\\Users\\user\\WorkSpace\\test\\src\\main.js',
  '--test=text'
]

Steps To Reproduce

1. latest vscode, nodejs lts v18.16.0, npm v9.7.1
2. create file structure in screenshot above
3. open terminal, run npm run start -- --arg=value
4. won't see value in output

Environment

• npm: v9.7.1
• Node.js: v18.16.0 lts
• OS Name: Windows 11 22H2 22621.1778
• System Model Name: Lenovo

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken = (protected)

; node bin location = C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\node-v18.16.0-win-x64\node.exe
; node version = v18.16.0

update npm to 9.7.1 fixes it
it still happen

npm run start -- --test=text

> test@1.0.0 start
> node main.js

[
  'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\node-v18.16.0-win-x64\\node.exe',
  'C:\\Users\\user\\WorkSpace\\test\\main.js'
]
npm -v
9.7.1

[JerryWn12]

behave normally when argument don't start with '--'

npm run start -- test=text  

> test@1.0.0 start
> node main.js test=text

[
  'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\node-v18.16.0-win-x64\\node.exe',
  'C:\\Users\\user\\WorkSpace\\test\\main.js',
  'test=text'
]

I'm having to use -- twice, like this:
