[bug]: add --path is broken

[lacymorrow]

Describe the bug

I haven't found any combination of arguments to get a custom path out of the add function

ui/packages/cli/src/commands/add.ts

Line 127 in 1081536

options.path ? path.resolve(cwd, options.path) : undefined

I noticed in the code that it resolves CWD, but passing that as an option as well doesn't work

ui/packages/cli/src/commands/add.ts

Line 54 in 1081536

const cwd = path.resolve(options.cwd)

Hi, did you check this one?

Usage: shadcn add [options] [components...]

add a component to your project

Arguments:
  components         the components to add or a url to the component.

Options:
  -y, --yes          skip confirmation prompt. (default: false)
  -o, --overwrite    overwrite existing files. (default: false)
  -c, --cwd <cwd>    the working directory. defaults to the current directory.
  -a, --all          add all available components. (default: false)
  -p, --path <path>  the path to add the component to.
  -h, --help         display help for command

Yep! That's what I'm referring to, see the reproduction steps. I am unable to get any path to work, the cli defaults to what is in components.jaon

This happens for me when I try to add a component to a non-existing folder path. I tried adding components via Powershell and on a Arch Linux WSL2 running bash. Both running node lts/iron (20.18.0) and npm (10.8.2).

If I try to pre-create a folder and point the path argument to that it states that no package.json file was find and then it asks me if I want to start a new Next.js project there. Same happens if i try to point it to a path that end in .tsx.

Either it is broken else the documentation is too scarce

EDIT:

This part isn't true. I was trying to invoke the npx shadcn@latest add from the subfolder, which of course didn't work. In all cases I've tried I get the same result - it's trying to overwrite the existing component that exist in the path from the components.json file and the path argument is not respected at all.
