nbQA pylint failing when run with --init-hook

[Praful932]

I'm trying to add a path via the init-hook parameter of pylint, it is working when i just use pylint but shows this error when run with nbqa

nbqa pylint notebooks/ --init-hook="import sys; sys.path.append('.')"

No such file or directory: --init-hook=import sys; sys.path.append('.')

nbqa version - 1.6.1
pylint version - 2.16.2

thanks for the report, I'll take a look

Looks like in here

nbQA/nbqa/cmdline.py

Line 170 in 1409871

args, cmd_args = parser.parse_known_args(argv)

it's mistaken for root_dirs. Don't know why.

Looks like it works if you do

nbqa pylint tests/data --init-hook "import sys; sys.path.append('.')"

though, does that work for you?
