Research direction

Start by comparing codeceptjs run with the reported command-line form that passes an array of test paths, using the provided codecept.conf.js tests setting and CodeceptJS v3.1.3 reproduction. Trace how the CLI parses positional arguments and verify that the command completes, runs both specified tests, and no longer hangs.

Description

stale

I have installed last version of Codeceptjs.

When i have in codecept.conf.js this line:
tests: ['./tests/Typescript_Example_test.ts', './tests/Typescript_Example2_test.ts'],

and run: codeceptjs run
this working correctly.

When I run:
codeceptjs run ['./tests/Typescript_Example_test.ts', './tests/Typescript_Example2_test.ts']

in cmd is visible:
CodeceptJS v3.1.3
Using test root "C:_git\sandbox"
and blinking cursor, nothin more.

Only way is kill by press ctrl+c.
