Bumps commander from 14.0.3 to 15.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from commander's releases.

v15.0.0

Commander 15 is ESM only. This is expected to be seamless for ESM consumers, but some CommonJS consumers may hit issues with tooling requiring configuration for ESM-only dependencies. See Migration Tips below.

The release of Commander 15 moves Commander 14 into maintenance. Commander 14 will get security updates for 12 months (to May 2027). For more info see Release Policy.

Added

  • show excess command-arguments in error message (#2384)

Fixed

  • Breaking: only lone --no-* option sets default option value to true, default not implicitly set when define both positive and negative option in either order (#2405)
  • update example to use compatible character for MINGW64 (#2475)

Changed

  • Breaking: migrated Commander implementation from CommonJS to ESM (#2464)
  • Breaking: Commander 15 requires Node.js v22.12.0 or higher (for require(esm)).
  • dev: switch tests from Jest to node:test test runner (#2463)

Deleted

  • Breaking: removed deprecated export of commander/esm.mjs (#2464)

Migration Tips

Commander 15 is ESM only, but this does not mean you need to migrate to ESM to use it. Importing ESM from CommonJS is supported by Node.js, and Bun, and Deno. Hopefully it Just Works for you! However, you may be using a different runtime or some other part of your setup that may not yet natively support importing ESM from CommonJS, such as your testing framework or bundler.

If you have problems using Commander 15 in your environment, one option is stay on Commander 14 for now. Commander 14 will get security updates until May 2027 and things will hopefully improve for your setup in the meantime.

Commander 15 requires Node.js v22.12.0 or higher because it's now ESM-only.

However, our project uses pkg to bundle Node.js into standalone binaries for non-technical users. The latest version of pkg (5.8.1) only supports Node 18 -- doesn't yet support Node 22 -- so we cannot build binaries that meet Commander 15's requirements.

Our options:

  • wait for pkg to release Node 22 support (project looks abandoned, may never happen?)
  • switch away from pkg to a different bundler
  • stay on Commander 14 (which will receive security updates through May 2027).

Additionally, the GitHub Actions workflow should be updated since Node 20 is now deprecated and actions are being forced to run on Node 24.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
