After installing flow-cli on a new laptop, I'm having some trouble sending transactions with arguments. The CLI interprets all inputs as containing one more argument than I intend. For example:

// minimal-example-1-arg.cdc
transaction(x: UInt64) {
    prepare(signer: AuthAccount) {}
    execute {}
}

% flow transactions send ./minimal-example-1-arg.cdc 1 --network canary --signer canary-service
❌ Command Error: error parsing transaction arguments: argument count is 2, expected 1

// minimal-example-1-arg.cdc
transaction(x: UInt64) {
    prepare(signer: AuthAccount) {}
    execute {}
}

% flow transactions send ./minimal-example-1-arg.cdc 1 --network canary --signer canary-service
❌ Command Error: error parsing transaction arguments: argument count is 2, expected 1

Let me know if anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong, or if this is a bug.

I'm going off the documented command format: flow transactions send <code filename> [<argument> <argument>...] [flags] from https://developers.flow.com/tooling/flow-cli/transactions/send-transactions. I'm on v1.4.0. I have successfully used this command syntax on a previous installation. Don't recall what version that was unfortunately. Also, the old --args-json flag still works:

% flow transactions send ./minimal-example-1-arg.cdc --network canary --signer canary-service --args-json '[{"type": "UInt64", "value": "2"}]'

% flow transactions send ./minimal-example-1-arg.cdc --network canary --signer canary-service --args-json '[{"type": "UInt64", "value": "2"}]'
