cache:clear arguments are confusing
See original GitHub issue- I am on the latest Poetry version.
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
-  If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvvoption).
- OS version and name: Windows 10
- Poetry version: 0.12.2
Issue
poetry cache:clear --help
Usage:
  cache:clear [options] [--] <cache>
Arguments:
  cache                           The name of the cache to clear.
Options:
      --all                       Clear all caches.
  -h, --help                      Display this help message
  -q, --quiet                     Do not output any message
  -V, --version                   Display this application version
      --ansi                      Force ANSI output
      --no-ansi                   Disable ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction            Do not ask any interactive question
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose[=VERBOSE]  Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
Help:
 Clears poetry's cache.
It reads as if --all and cache name are mutually exclusive (instead of clearing the named cache, I clear all caches) but when I do poetry cache:clear --all
poetry cache:clear --all -vvv
