Description

Assume in my package.json I have a task named "xxx".
Using npm itself, I can run it as follows: npm run xxx.
I also can run it with additional arguments in the following way: npm run xxx -- more arguments for xxx.
When I run this task using node plugin for Gradle, I can run it using ./gradlew npm_run_xxx.
But is there a way to pass those additional arguments to the npm task, like I've done above with npm right on the Gradle command line?

Research direction

The issue identifies the generated npm_run_xxx Gradle task and the ./gradlew command, but no source file or test. Start by tracing how that task is registered and how Gradle command-line arguments are handled. Done means the supported way to forward arguments to the npm task is established and covered by appropriate documentation or tests.
