The flag --ignore can only be set once

[smurf667]

I used to run npm-check -i <glob1> -i <glob2> .... Now this produces the error message "The flag --ignore can only be set once". The ignore globs are supposed to be an array, so why can't I do this anymore? How should I ignore multiple, different globs?

It looks like this was introduced in v6 with 3c8798d and the meow update to v9, which added an isMultiple property to flags that defaults to false (in meow v7).

Workaround: use a glob pattern:

in package.json, scripts, e.g.:

    "pretest": "npm-check -i \"{node-fetch,puppeteer{,-core}}\"; npm outdated || exit 0",

the workaround from @jandppw worked great for me in node14 but in node16 something changed and i think it needs to be double quoted now npm-check -i '"{...}"':

    "pretest": "npm-check -i '\"{node-fetch,puppeteer{,-core}}\"'; npm outdated || exit 0",
