"detox recorder" can not be used as script with npm/yarn

[fabianbru]

Describe the Bug When using a "detox recorder ..." command through the package.json "scripts" section nothing happens and process exits immediately without error/logs.

To Reproduce package.json

  "scripts": {
    "detox:ios:recorder": "detox recorder -b \"<APP_ID>\" -s booted -r --outputTestFile \"./test/e2e/NewTest.e2e.js\" --testName \"New Test\""
  },

• run yarn detox:ios:recorder or npm run detox:ios:recorder
• process will exit and no output is shown

  » yarn detox:ios:recorder
  yarn run v1.22.10
  $ detox recorder -b "<APP_ID>" -s booted -r --outputTestFile "./test/e2e/NewTest.e2e.js" --testName "New Test"
  ✨  Done in 0.55s.

On the other hand copying the command above out of the package.json scripts and run it directly in the terminal will start the recording without problems.

Expected Behavior Running a "detox recorder ..." command as package.json script has the same effect as running it directly in the console.

Actual Behavior Running a "detox recorder ..." command as package.json script does nothing.

Screenshots no screens needed

Workaround: "scripts": { "detox:ios:recorder": "node_modules/detox-recorder/DetoxRecorderCLI --bundleId com.example.app --simulatorId booted --outputTestFile 'temp/testFile.ts' --record" }
