Feature Request

Here is the prompt after I entered an incorrect option

 Stack trace:

  11  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/clikit/console_application.py:123 in run
      io = io_factory(

  ... some stack traces omitted

   1  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/clikit/args/default_args_parser.py:272 in _parse_short_option
      self._add_short_option(name, None, tokens, fmt, lenient)

  NoSuchOptionException


  The "-f" option does not exist.

      347│     ):  # type: (str, Optional[str], List[str], ArgsFormat, bool) -> None
      348│         if not fmt.has_option(name):

      352│             fmt.get_option(name).long_name, value, tokens, fmt, lenient
      353│         )

At the moment I have to scroll up to find out what I did wrong.

I wish there is an option or configuration make Poetry had just left the "-f" option does not exist. as a clear reminder of what I was doing wrong.

I am not a native English speaker and may not be able to use exact words and phrases to search for issues, Sorry if this issue is duplicated.
I have reading the following sections of the documentation but did not find an option that would be helpful for my needs.

• https://python-poetry.org/docs/cli/#global-options
• https://python-poetry.org/docs/configuration/

Did I miss something? Any help would be appreciated.

This has been changed in the to be released version 1.2 of Poetry, where the stack trace is only shown when passing -v (for verbose).

$ poetry show -f

There is also python-poetry/cleo#132 to even further improve error handling.
#2854 and #5229 are also similar requests.
