**Resolves:** [Issue #1138](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/113…8) **Changes:** Using arguments.multiple() to pass the argument strings to Commander rather than defining each argument as a Clikt val in advance. **Tests:** The following configs worked. - run --args='cli --sketch="/Users/tonz/Documents/Processing/test space/sketch_Test" --run' - run --args='cli --help' **Warning:** When testing changes to this file, if you run into an error, try running: rm -rf /[ YOUR REPOSITORY PATH ]/app/build/compose/tmp **Question:** Should we nicely handle if they did not specify a required argument? Right now it errors out if no sketch is passed.

We fixed an issue with the CLI arguments in 4.4.5 so could you try that version to see if it fixes your issue?
