Migration Tips

Excess command-arguments

It is now an error for the user to specify more command-arguments than are expected. (allowExcessArguments is now false by default.)

Old code:

program.option('-p, --port <number>', 'port number');
program.action((options) => {
  console.log(program.args);
});

Now shows an error:

$ node example.js a b c
error: too many arguments. Expected 0 arguments but got 3.

You can declare the expected arguments. The help will then be more accurate too. Note that declaring
new arguments will change what is passed to the action handler.

program.option('-p, --port <number>', 'port number');
program.argument('[args...]', 'remote command and arguments'); // expecting zero or more arguments
program.action((args, options) => {
  console.log(args);
});

Or you could suppress the error, useful for minimising changes in legacy code.

program.option('-p, --port', 'port number');
program.allowExcessArguments();
program.action((options) => {
  console.log(program.args);
});

Stricter option flag parsing

Commander now throws an error for option flag combinations that are not supported.
In particular, a short flag with multiple characters is now an error.

program.option('-ws, --workspace'); // throws error

A short option has a single character:

program.option('-w, --workspace');

Or from Commander 13.1 you can have an extra long flag instead of a short flag to allow a more memorable shortcut for the full name:

program.option('--ws, --workspace');
