Npx 7 migration start?

Question

Node.js

Hello. Migrated to npm 7.0.15 and got an error in the script that ran the migration

npx -n '-r dotenv/config' knex --esm migrate:latest

npx: the --n argument has been removed.

Walked that already npx actually became npm exec. So it seems to work.
npm exec -c 'knex --esm migrate:latest'
But you still need to add variables there via -r dotenv/config.

Can you tell me how to rewrite it to npm 7? Thank you.
