Jira issue originally created by user @hobodave:

This was introduced with the move to Symfony console.

daves-macbookpro:s5 hobodave$ ./scripts/doctrine orm:schema-tool:create -h



  [RuntimeException]     
  Not enough arguments.  



orm:schema-tool:create [--from="..."] [--dump-sql] [-h](--help) [-q](--quiet) [-v](--verbose) [-V](--version) [-c](--color) [-n](--no-interaction) command from-path

Huh? What is "command", what is "from-path" and how is it different from --from?

See DDC-502, from and from-path are not needed anymore.

Additionally the "command" thing is a bug of Symfony Consoles help output. Its not required.

Great, this helps a lot.

However, -h still does not work, it seems to be ignored. --help however does work.

This is also a symfony console bug, please post it upstream :-)
