v4 - Command project - Trouble with args

[jenovateurs]

Tested with Debian Stretch.

With Phalcon DevTools (3.4.8), the command :
phalcon project hello_world simple –-template-engine=volt
Does this:

Success: Controller "index" was successfully created.

/var/www/html/hello_world/app/controllers/IndexController.php

  Success: Project 'hello_world' was successfully created.
Please choose a password and username to use Database connection.Used default:'root' without password.

The created folder is hello_world

With Phalcon DevTools (4.0.0-beta.2) from the branch 4.0.x
Does this:

Phalcon DevTools (4.0.0-beta.2)

Success: Controller "index" was successfully created.

 Info: /var/www/html/phalcon-devtools/–-template-engine=volt/hello_world/app/controllers/IndexController.php

 Success: Project 'hello_world' was successfully created.

 Info: Please choose a password and username to use Database connection.

 Info: Used default: 'root' without password.

The created folder is –-template-engine=volt not hello_world.

What is even more strange, is that it creates both, correctly and incorrectly just randomly...

[Jeckerson]

Well, it doesn't work for you, because you have special character in your command:

–-template-engine=volt
^

– != -

That's why it is interpreted as 3d argument and not as option. And third argument is directory name where to save.

@Jeckerson Good catch, thanks for taking the time to look at it.
To give you some context, I have copied the original command from a Word file. I think that when two dash follow one another, Word converts the dash into a special character.
