set command line option to value starting with -- (double dash) fails

[rriemann]

Dear all,

I have a tool with this option:

var args = require('yargs')
  .describe('browser-options', 'Arguments passed over to the browser (Chrome)')
  .nargs('browser-options', 1)
  .array('browser-options')
  .default('browser-options', [])

However, calling my tool with options `--browser-options=--test` does not work. I get the error:

    Not enough arguments following: browser-options

Do I need to apply special shell escaping? I reproduced the problem with both bash and zsh.

Reproduced with master:

• .array() and .nargs() seem not to be working with --option=--value (value is seen as an independant option)
• when .array() and .nargs() lines are commented out, --value is seen as the value of option, as expected

I traced the issue back to yargs-parser and will open an issue there.

[mleguen]

Issue yargs/yargs-parser#261 opened.

[mleguen]

Waiting for yargs/yargs-parser#262 to be merged upstream before fixing it in yargs.

[mleguen]

Fix released upstream (thanks again @bcoe). I will include it in yargs ASAP.

@rriemann if you get rid of your package-lock.json and reinstall fresh, this should already be fixed for you.
