phinx "The --configuration option does not exist."

Question

Did something happen to the phinx --configuration option? A project at my work relies on it.

phinx docs: If a --configuration command line option is given, Phinx will load the specified file. Otherwise, ...

however when I run:

$ ./vendor/bin/phinx --configuration=my_config.php

  The "--configuration" option does not exist.

Also --version is not returning a version number.

Phinx by CakePHP - https://phinx.org.

Turns out adding a migrate to the script fixed the issue and now it runs fine.

../vendor/bin/phinx migrate --configuration=my_config.php

I am guessing that at some point it assumed that if you ran it without the migrate that you wanted to migrate still allowed you to pass in options for it.
