[Bug 1414122] [NEW] adt-run arguments are order dependent

[Rodney Dawes]

Public bug reported:

Some of the arguments to the adt-run command are dependent on position.

Both of these incantations work as expected:

adt-run . --click ../foo.click
adt-run --click-source . --click ../foo.click

However, this one does not:

adt-run --click ../foo.click --click-source .

There is no error about positional arguments, the documentation does not
state they must be in a certain order, and other arguments are not
dependent on position. Instead, the command continues and old tests get
run. Please fix these arguments to also not be positional.
