How to run aerender with -r some.jsx in After Effect 2025

Question

I used After Effect 2024 as render node via command:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "C:\tmp\test_tpl.aep" -r "C:\tmp\some.jsx"

All worked fine.

After updating to After Effect to 2025 it was broken with error output:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "C:\tmp\test_tpl.aep" -r "C:\tmp\some.jsx"

aerender version 25.2.2x2
PROGRESS: Launching After Effects...
aerender SYNTAX ERROR: Illegal argument flag: -r

JSX-file is generating dynamicly on runtime.

How can this be fixed?
