run-many appends a "--" argument when invoking packages' scripts

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

In a monorepo where each package has a tsc script to run the Typescript checker, when I run tsc through Nx using this command:

nx run-many --target=tsc --all --skip-nx-cache

Nx appends -- when it invokes the scripts, and that results in the following error:

> nx-bug@1.0.0 tsc /Users/pepicrft/Downloads/nx-bug
> nx run-many --target=tsc --all --skip-nx-cache



    ✖  nx run project:tsc
       > project@1.0.0 tsc /Users/pepicrft/Downloads/nx-bug/packages/project
       > tsc -p './tsconfig.json' "--"
       
       error TS5023: Unknown compiler option '--'.

Expected Behavior

I’d expect Nx to invoke the script as it is declared in the package without appending additional arguments.

Steps to Reproduce

Download this project nx-bug.zip
Install dependencies pnpm install.
Run pnpm run tsc

I worked around it by simply adding an && echo to the end of my tsc commands… ie: "build": "node scripts/build.js && tsc --declaration --emitDeclarationOnly && echo"

@melMass I just created a PR to fix this, so maybe you can hold on for a little longer. 😃
