I'm trying to execute npx command containing pipe in regex parameter:

npx depcruise --exclude 'node_modules"|"test' --output-type dot src

But I'm getting error:

'test' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I tried all combinations described here https://octopus.com/blog/powershell-pipe-escaping but none works. Whats is the correct way to escape pipe in such command?

Doesn't `'node_modules|test'` work? What do you need to escape `|` for? – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 16 '21 at 09:42
'node_modules|test' dosen't work - same error – Kamui Dec 16 '21 at 10:09
Assumed you run this command line in a PowerShell console you could try the *stop parsing* parameter to prevent PowerShell to interpret your arguments as PowerShell cmdlet parameters ... `npx --% depcruise --exclude "node_modules|test" --output-type dot src` – Olaf Dec 16 '21 at 10:22
Didn't work. Still the same error – Kamui Dec 17 '21 at 10:40
@Kamui am running into the same error, did you find a solution in the meantime? – Helmutchecker Apr 12 '23 at 11:36
