Using Command Line to generate Help from RoboHelp 2022

Has anyone used the Command Line to generate the online help from RoboHelp 2022? 
For years we've been using RoboHelp 2020 and generating the help from the Command Line as part of our build process. Now we've updated to RoboHelp 2022 Update 5 and we're trying to use the same Command Line commands. 
We're getting strange warnings (errors?) that don't seem to be related to anything in my content:
Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency
The interesting thing is that the help appears to generate just fine, but the warnings (errors) are stopping my automated build process. 
I even tried just running the command to get the manpages - the help - for the command line tool - 
 robohelp.exe --cl -?
And still getting those strange warnings. So it's gotta be something in the support of the command line tool, and not the content files, right?
Has anyone been able to use RoboHelp 2022 Update 5 with the Command Line execution and generation of help files?
Any help would be appreciated.

    Why did you start a new thread when you already have this one going about your command line issues - https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp-discussions/robohelp-2020-to-2022-upgrade-command-line-error/td-p/15055052 ??

    Sorry. I'm a colleague who didn't realize we've already posted. My bad.

    I haven't seen any reports of problems with command line generation in Update 5. I think there may have been one in an earlier update but that was fixed.
