Pass arguments to “node” executable when running “yarn run”

Question

node can be started with various options. Especially interesting is the --inspect flag:

node --inspect node_modules/.bin/jest some.spec.js

Is it possible to pass the --inspect flag somehow to yarn run? For example:

yarn run test --inspect some.spec.js 

There is a similar question for npm run, where it seems to be not possible.

Answer 1

Alternatively you can use npx and pass node arguments with a -n or --node-arg flagnpx -n=--inspect-brk jest

npx feels more intuitive when dealing with cli's or packages that alias commands.
