Commander can't handle multiple command arguments - node.js

Question

I have the following commander command with multiple arguments:
var program = require('commander');
program
.command('rename <id> [name]')
.action(function() {
console.log(arguments);
});
program.parse(process.argv);
Using the app yields the following result:
$ node app.js 1 "Hello"
{ '0': '1',
'1':
{ commands: [],
options: [],
_execs: [],
_args: [ [Object] ],
_name: 'rename',
parent:
{ commands: [Object],
options: [],
_execs: [],
_args: [],
_name: 'app',
Command: [Function: Command],
Option: [Function: Option],
_events: [Object],
rawArgs: [Object],
args: [Object] } } }
As you can see, the action receives the first argument (<id>) and program, but doesn't receives the second argument: [name].
I've tried:
Making [name] a required argument.
Passing the name unquoted to the tool from the command line.
Simplifying my real app into the tiny reproducible program above.
Using a variadic argument for name (rename <id> [name...]), but this results on both 1 and Hello to being assigned into the same array as the first parameter to action, defeating the purpose of having id.
What am I missing? Does commander only accepts one argument per command (doesn't looks so in the documentation)?

Answer 1

I think this was a bug in an old version of commander. This works now with commander#2.9.0.

Answer 2

I ran in to the same problems, and decided to use Caporal instead.
Here's an example from their docs on Creating a command:
When writing complex programs, you'll likely want to manage multiple commands. Use the .command() method to specify them:
program
// a first command
.command("my-command", "Optional command description used in help")
.argument(/* ... */)
.action(/* ... */)
// a second command
.command("sec-command", "...")
.option(/* ... */)
.action(/* ... */)
