test(cmd): add test for caret char (shelljs#1017)

nfischer · web-flow · commit cb64b92439de · 2021-02-08T09:37:50.000-08:00
No change to logic. This adds a test case to make sure the caret character ('^') is passed through to the command. This is to make sure the character is not treated specially on Windows, where it's an escape character in the shell. Fixes shelljs#1015
