Changed

• Breaking: Commander 8 requires Node.js 12 or higher (#1500)
• Breaking: CommanderError code commander.invalidOptionArgument renamed commander.invalidArgument (#1508)
• Breaking: TypeScript declaration for .addTextHelp() callback no longer allows result of undefined, now just string (#1516)

  • (still available as named program export)

Migration Tips

program
  .option('-d, --debug')
  .arguments('<file>');
program.parse();
