Running node/npm scripts with Deno

I am trying to use Deno in place of npm for a particular project. I run deno install and it appears to install deps just fine from the package.json. The scripts in the package.json are a series of tsx scripts, like:

{
  scripts: {
    test: "tsx src/test.ts"
  }
},

{
  scripts: {
    test: "tsx src/test.ts"
  }
},

When I run deno task test I get an error like:

error: unexpected argument '--require' found

  tip: to pass '--require' as a value, use '-- --require'

error: unexpected argument '--require' found

  tip: to pass '--require' as a value, use '-- --require'

Should this use case work? If so, could you let me know what I'm missing? Edit to add: tsx is included as a devDepencies entry in the package.json. Thank you!

That sounds like a bug. Can you file an issue https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues ?
