depcheck not triggering fail from bashscript-

I have a bashscript which executes git/grunt commands automatically, checks for outdated packages and updates/publishes/deploys the app on npm and git.

i want to introduce depcheck in my script so i did the following.

depcheck --ignores '@cv/package1, package2, package3, @cv/package4'
                    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then 
                                              #i go forward with my publish-
                        echo "Step-11: Checking Command to execute" 
                    else 
                     echo "Missing Dependencies found. Fix the package.json file and execute this script again."
                        exit 3
                    fi

But bash is not detecting if depcheck command has failed. if i assign the depcheck command to variable i do get result but why isn’t bash detecting it automatically with $? -eq 0 i have many grunt commands like jshint- and i check them with if [ $? -eq 0 ]; and it works.

Am i doing something wrong or this feature is not available with depcheck ?

@rumpl I figured out what the issue is, I was using Git Bash for windows. I had a colleague run the same script on MacOs and he got the 255. Thanks!

Yeah, seems like an valid issue.
