Hi @tawanda-profuse, thank you for opening this issue. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it. What version of node do you have and what operating system are you using?

What terminal program are you using? I cannot reproduce this with PowerShell, windows 11 and node 18.

Hi @tawanda-profuse, I cannot reproduce this, I have a feeling the error you're facing has to do with your personal setup, maybe you're aliasing npm? The docs clearly state that in order to pass additional arguments to the command, the arguments need to be separated by --.
