command line arguments passed to lerna npm script not working

[s1mrankaur]

In root package.json, I have:

"deploy:customStage": "./node_modules/lerna/cli.js run deploy:customStage",

In packageA/package.json I have:

"deploy:customStage": "../../node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless.js deploy -v",

From command line I execute:

npm run deploy:customStage -- -- -- '--stage simi'

Also tried with:

npm run deploy:customStage -- -- -- '--stage' 'simi'

The expectation was that the stagename simi passed through the command line will be sent to packageA/package.json script resulting in

../../node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless.js deploy -v --stage simi

However, I get the following error:

$ npm run deploy:customStage -- -- --'--stage simi'

rootproject0.1.0 deploy:customStage
./node_modules/lerna/cli.js run deploy:customStage "--" "----stage simi"

Serverless: Deprecation warnings:

"serverless" command options are expected to follow command and not be put before the command.
Starting from the next major Serverless will no longer support the latter form.

Variables resolver reports the following resolution errors:
  - Cannot resolve variable at "provider.stage": Cannot load file from outside of a project directory (configure "projectDir" to extend project boundary)
From a next major this will be communicated with a thrown error.
Set "variablesResolutionMode: 20210326" in your service config, to adapt to new behavior now

Hi @s1mrankaur, there are a couple of things to note:

• ./node_modules/lerna/cli.js is definitely an unexpected usage of lerna.

Please try updating to the latest major version of lerna which released since we took over stewardship, and update your usage to be the expected lerna run.

• Why do you have so many double dashes in your invocation?

npm run deploy:customStage -- -- -- '--stage simi'

I think you should only need two pairs of dashes before your argument, not three: 1 for npm forwarding, 1 for lerna run forwarding

P.S. I cannot comment on that library specifically as I have never used it, but I would also strongly suggest verifying that this is the intended way to invoke the serverless executable ../../node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless.js, I would imagine npx serverless would be more idiomatic

I will close this for now, but please feel free to reopen if you follow the above advice and it is still not working on the latest version
