How to get 2 flags from a make command cobra

Question

how do i create a makefile that takes in 2 arguments? myapp written in go, uses cobra cli. has a command that takes in 2 arguments(flags).

this works

$ go build; myapp mycmd --flag1=myvalue1 --flag2=myvalue2

in my make file i have

//makefile
run:
    @echo Building and Running
    $(GO) build -i -o myapp .
    ./myapp start $(ARGS)

so in CLI, when I try

$ make run ARGS=--flag1=arg1--flag2=arg2
or
$ make run ARGS=--flag1=arg1,--flag2=arg2

doesn't read in the flag values how do i read in the 2 flag values, it only seems to read in 1 flag value.

make run ARGS=--flag1=arg1--flag2=arg2

Has no separator between the flags

make run ARGS=--flag1=arg1,--flag2=arg2

Cobra doesn't use ',' as a default flag separator.

Try:
make run ARGS='--flag1=arg1 --flag2=arg2'

Tried against a cobra CLI of my own, works perfectly.
