`nxp svgo@latest a.svg -o b.svg` doesn't work

I've been unable to reproduce this on Debian (Linux). I get the same error as you if the file indeed does not exist, but if I create the file, everything works as intended.

Can you please try the following and share the result, just to confirm 100% that this is indeed the scenario you've encountered:

(
  # create a temp directory and cd to it (usually /tmp)
  cd $(mktemp -d)
  # create a mock svg
  echo '<svg></svg>' > original.svg
  # optimize the svg with svgo
  npx svgo@latest original.svg
)

you right from tmp folder it works,

 npx svgo@latest original.svg                                                    
 --- xdebug {
  cwd: '/private/var/folders/_z/vx08z2b93ylfqdxv3n2hp7qm0000gp/T/tmp.ALluj36Grh',
  file: 'original.svg',
  __dirname: '/Users/i/.npm/_npx/2be8efd978f68697/node_modules/svgo/lib/svgo'
}

original.svg:
Done in 3 ms!
0.006 KiB - 0% = 0.006 KiB

but if I run it from my yarn monorepo project

• file: /Users/i/all_work/ck/dtv/app/libs/shared-icons/SVGs/search.svg

cd /Users/i/all_work/ck/dtv/app/libs/shared-icons/SVGs
npx svgo@latest search.svg          
                           
 --- xdebug {
  cwd: '/Users/i/all_work/ck/dtv/app/libs/shared-icons',
  file: 'search.svg',
  __dirname: '/Users/i/.npm/_npx/2be8efd978f68697/node_modules/svgo/lib/svgo'
}

so the problem in case of monorepo process.cwd() is /Users/i/all_work/ck/dtv/app/libs/shared-icons/

• but expected to be /Users/i/all_work/ck/dtv/app/libs/shared-icons/SVGs
