Confusing message when combining --watch --wait flags together

[gmile]

The following command:

docker-compose --file docker-compose.yml up --watch --wait

Returns an error message:

--detach cannot be combined with --abort-on-container-exit, --abort-on-container-failure, --attach, --attach-dependencies or --watch

I am not sure why the error above appears or how to act on it since I am not using --detach flag.

The contents of docker-compose.yml I am using to reproduce the above issue looks like this:

services:
  whoami:
    image: traefik/whoami

The version of docker-compose is:

$ docker-compose version
Docker Compose version v2.33.0

FWIW, a docker-compose.yml originally used to spot the problem contains may other things, including build and develop fields for a service.

You get this message as --wait implies --detach. With many dependent flags there's a bunch of such combinations which are compatible and we hardly can provide an exact error message

@ndeloof thanks, your clarification is good enough for me 👍
