node JS script to negate the exit code of the command passed as parameter
/**
* Spawn the given command with its arguments, exit with the inverse of the
* exit code of the spawned command: exits 0 if the code is anything other
* than 0, and exits with 1 if the code is 0.
*
* Usage:
*
* node scripts/utils/negateExitCode.js <command> [<arguments>...]
*
* Examples:
*
* # print hello and exit with code 1
* node scripts/utils/negateExitCode.js echo hello
*
* # print hello and exit with code 0
* node scripts\utils\negateExitCode.js bash -c "echo hello; exit 2"
*
* # run the commandThatShouldFail and exits with 0 if it does exit with any
* # non-zero code, and exit with 1 if it exits with code 0.
* node scripts/utils/negateExitCode.js yarn commandThatShouldFail --argument1 yadaYada
