EINVALIDTAGNAME with custom CMake options

I am trying to give a custom CMake option using the npm command npm install -- --CDMyCustomLib_DIR:PATH=directory

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "cmake-js compile"
  },
  ...
}

I got this error:

npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME
npm ERR! Invalid tag name "--CDMyCustomLib_DIR:PATH=directory": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.

Any idea how to solve this? Thanks for your help!

As far I know yes, you should. But you can use environment variables or npm config values to configure you build process. https://github.com/cmake-js/cmake-js#npm-config-integration

Because on the time of development CMake was case insensitive. It would be a breaking change to address it. It might worth the effort and a semver major release, but you should open up an issue about it, when we can discuss more.
