'dinghy create' reports incomplete usage information

[nicolaiskogheim]

Consider this:

$ dinghy create --help
ERROR: "dinghy create" was called with arguments ["--help"]
Usage: "dinghy create"

Dinghy not accepting --help is okay, but it should say it accepts the --provider=[virtualbox|xhyve|etc] argument.

$ dinghy version
Dinghy 4.4.1

Yeah I get tripped up by this even, and I'm the one who wrote it. It's a consequence of using Thor for the CLI, I'm not aware of a way to change Thor's behavior here (you're supposed to use dinghy help create instead to see the available flags).

Maybe I can try just updating Dinghy to use the latest Thor, see if that improves the output.

[codekitchen]

Nope, upgrading to the latest Thor didn't change the output at all. I dug around the Thor docs a bit, but I don't see an obvious way to improve this behavior.

Thank you for looking into it.

We can keep an eye on this[1] issue. It's a couple of months old, but if it gets resolved, we can solve our issue too.
