-extended is also not shown in the --help output.

This is by design: In theory args with only one hypen should go into the pull tester and args with two hypen should go into the specific test.

You may want to look at #7971, which clarifies the docs, hopefully.

@paveljanik What's the status of this now that #7971 has been merged?

Current master:
```

Usage: p2p-fullblocktest.py [options]
```

@paveljanik Make sure to select only the rpc test you want the help for. (default=select all quick tests)

The script will only print help of the first script and exit: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/9e45ef1ef0314d23938c200bd357b2a069acde9b/qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py#L182

I will try to clean up the doc further when we got rid of the -win option.

I think --help should help me to select tests I would like to run and not print the first help available :-) Of course I know I can run selected scripts directly.

If you need help selecting tests, the intention was to look at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/9f1807af2422e3ac2d3702242b4a47c8df0be262/qa/README.md#running-tests

Sure, or I can read the source ;-) Or execute --help...

I think --help should help me to select tests I would like to run @paveljanik I believe this is fixed on master.

Yup, ./test_runner.py --help works as expected, closing.
