CLI run command argument conflict

[shawnwall]

I've created several CLI pythons scripts that utilize click, lets call one test.py. click itself uses --help as a default parameter to get help info. The dotenv CLI also has a --help argument. Running something like:

dotenv -f ../.env run python test.py --help

...results in the --help argument getting used by dotenv, not my script.

1. Is this intentional, or would this be considered a bug?
2. Is there a workaround (besides leaving off --help to default to click's help msg)?

What about dotenv -f ../.env run -- python test.py --help? -- is a common convention to separate options and arguments for the program and click, which we use in python-dotenv, understands that convention.

@bbc2 that worked, thank you very much for your help.
