Changed

• second parameter of cmd.description(desc, argDescriptions) for adding argument descriptions ([#​1490])

Removed

• Breaking: TypeScript declaration for default export of global Command object ([#​1520])
  • (still available as named program export)

Migration Tips

If you have a simple program without an action handler, you will now get an error if
there are missing command-arguments.

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

$ node trivial.js 
error: missing required argument 'file'

If you want to show the help in this situation, you could check the arguments before parsing:

if (process.argv.length === 2)
  program.help();
program.parse();

Or, you might choose to show the help after any user error:

program.showHelpAfterError();
