Description

I have done the following

  • I have searched the existing issues
  • If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

Steps to reproduce

container run --debug ghcr.io/styrainc/regal:0.35.1

Current behavior

Error: Unknown option '--debug'. Did you mean '--debug'?
Usage: container run [<options>] <image> [<arguments> ...]
  See 'container run --help' for more information.

Expected behavior

container run --help tells me that the run command has a --debug flag. Trying to use that however gives me the error message in the issue title. It's a rather amusing error message, mind you! But I doubt that's intended.

If I do something like --debug=foo I'll get Error: The option '--debug' does not take any value, but 'foo' was specified. so evidently the --debug flag is recognized, it just doesn't seem to work when only provided as --debug.

My expectation would be that --debug works, or that the error message explains why it's not.

Environment

- OS: 15.5
- Xcode: 
- Container: 0.2.0
