ImageMagick Compare command issue with version 7

How do you run CompareCmd in Java from imageMagick version 7? The previous versions running compare would run compare, but now in version 7 running compare runs magick compare, which throws error magick: no images found for operation `-metric' at CLI arg 1 @ error/operation.c/CLIOption/5227. Please advise.

If I add in op.addRawArgs("compare"); then run the comparecmd I get org.im4java.core.CommandException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.im4java.core.ImageCommand.run(ImageCommand.java:219)

CompareCmd compare = new CompareCmd();
compare.setSearchPath(imageMagickBinPath);
compare.setErrorConsumer(StandardStream.STDERR);

IMOperation op = new IMOperation();
op.addRawArgs("compare");
op.metric("AE");
op.fuzz(10.0);

op.addImage(screenShotPath1);
op.addImage(screenShotPath2);
op.addImage(imageCompareResultFile.getAbsolutePath());

    //Execute the Operation
    try {
        compare.run(op);
        isSame=true;
    } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        isSame=false;
    }

I got it to work with imageMagick 7 and I got a 3rd file that showed the red differences or a gray image for no differences aka the same pics. I split the exception I got after running compare command to retrieve the number >0 to verify for differences and inf, blank, or null for no differences returned aka when there are same pics.
CompareCmd compare = new CompareCmd(); compare.setSearchPath(imageMagickBinPath); //compare.setErrorConsumer(StandardStream.STDERR); //don't use or can't get the values to compare if different or same

IMOperation op = new IMOperation();
op.addRawArgs("compare"); //additional for imageMagick 7.0
op.metric("AE");
op.fuzz(1.0);
op.addImage(screenShotPath1);
op.addImage(screenShotPath2);
op.addImage(imageCompareResultFile.getAbsolutePath());

//Running compare.run(op) returns a difference file
//If it returns a difference file then the pictures are not the same and isSame is set to false
//If it returns an error then the pictures are the same and isSame is set to true

try {
    compare.run(op);
} catch (IOException e1a) {
    e1a.printStackTrace();
    Reporter.log("--Got error "+e1a.getMessage().toString(), true);
        } catch (InterruptedException e1b) {
            e1b.printStackTrace();
            Reporter.log("--Got error "+e1b.getMessage().toString(),true);
        } catch (IM4JavaException e1c) {
            e1c.printStackTrace();
            Reporter.log("--Got error "+e1c.getMessage().toString(),true);
        }

        IMOperation op2 = new IMOperation();
        Reporter.log("--Compare the differences file produced by compare command to see if there are differences or if the pics are the same.", true);
        op2.addRawArgs("compare"); //additional for imageMagick 7.0
        op2.channel("red");
        op2.metric("PSNR");
        op2.addImage(screenShotPath1);
        op2.addImage(screenShotPath2);
        op2.addImage(imageCompareResultFile.getAbsolutePath());

            compare.run(op2);

        }

        Reporter.log("--imagemagick returns nothing, null, or inf if pics are same", true);
        Reporter.log("--imagemagick returns a decimal number if pics are different", true);
