…tring When only a negated option is defined, Commander gives it an implicit `true` default; when a positive counterpart is also defined, it must not (the pair shares one value). That "is there a positive counterpart?" check reconstructed the `--foo` long flag from `--no-foo` and looked it up by flag string, so it missed a positive option spelled differently but sharing the same attribute — a short-only `-c`, or `--fooBar` paired with `--no-foo-bar`. Those `--no-*` options were then wrongly defaulted to `true` when unused instead of left `undefined`. Match the positive counterpart by `attributeName()`, the same way the internal `DualOptions` helper already pairs them, so any spelling of the positive option is recognised. A genuinely lone `--no-*` option is unaffected and still defaults to `true`.

Understood — but I wanted to flag that the underlying bug here is real and reproducible: const p = new Command();
p.option('-c', 'add cheese').option('--no-c', 'remove cheese');
p.parse([], { from: 'user' }); // neither supplied
p.opts(); // { c: true } — expected {}When a No worries if you'd still rather not take it — just didn't want a genuine correctness bug to slip by. |

This is a low value fix probably completely generated by AI. (And hence much less effort spent creating the Pull Request than by this human reviewer.) This is a correctness fix for an edge case which is outside the intended usage. The Pull Request does not follow the contributing guidelines or the Pull Request template. Fail. Fail. Fail. |
Problem
When only a negated option is defined, Commander gives it an implicit
truedefault; when a positive counterpart is also defined, it must not, because
the pair shares a single value (per the v15 behavior from #2405).
The "is there a positive counterpart?" check reconstructs the
--foolong flagfrom
--no-fooand looks it up by flag string:So it misses a positive option that shares the same attribute but is spelled
differently — a short-only
-c, or a camelCase--fooBarpaired with akebab-case
--no-foo-bar. Those--no-*options are then wrongly defaulted totruewhen unused, instead of leftundefined, silently flipping program logic:The equivalent all-long dual (
--cheese+--no-cheese) already behavescorrectly (
{}), so the two spellings of the same construct diverge.Fix
Detect the positive counterpart by
attributeName()— the same way the internalDualOptionshelper already pairs positive/negative options — instead ofreconstructing and matching the flag string. Any spelling of the positive option
is then recognised as the pair. A genuinely lone
--no-*option is unaffectedand still defaults to
true.Test
Added cases in
tests/options.bool.test.jsfor a short-only positive (-c+--no-c) and a camelCase/kebab mismatch (--fooBar+--no-foo-bar), assertingthe value stays
undefinedwhen unused, plus a lone--no-sauceasserting thetruedefault is preserved. The two mismatch cases fail onmain; all pass withthe fix, and the full suite is green (1375 pass, 0 fail).
