CLI usage with multiple arguments causes "error: too many arguments"

[metonym]

I have the following script:

"scripts": {
  "deploy": "gh-pages -d build -t true"
},

With gh-pages@6.2.0, running npm run deploy worked as expected.

However, with gh-pages@6.3.0, it now throws the following error:

npm run deploy

> gh-pages -d build -t true

error: too many arguments. Expected 0 arguments but got 1.

I believe this is due to a recent major version upgrade for commander (v11 --> v13). The breaking change only allows one argument by default. Subsequent arguments will throw the above error. For example, gh-pages -d build works fine.

One of the breaking changes in commander@13.0.0 is:

Breaking: excess command-arguments cause an error by default, see migration tips (#2223)

Source code of commander: file with breaking change.

Thanks for the report, @metonym. The --dotfiles or -t flag is a boolean flag that doesn’t take any arguments. Is there documentation somewhere that shows its use with true?

Thank you for clarifying – confirmed that gh-pages -d build -t works perfectly.
