custom commands are not accepting jhipster 8.5.0

[Saurabhrok09]

when I'm passing custom commands via cmd or launch.json getting below error :

.... Debugger attached. Debugger attached. INFO! No custom commands found within blueprint: generator-jhipster-utx-migrate-six-to-eight at xyz\generator-jhipster-utx-migrate-six-to-eight error: unknown option '--custom-question' Waiting for the debugger to disconnect... Waiting for the debugger to disconnect...

I have added custom-question option in generator.js this.option('custom-question', { desc: 'baseName for Application', type: Boolean, });

as custom-question is type boolean, with 7.9.4 it's working but with 8.5.0 giving unknown option error.

Since v8 cli loads options/configs from generators command. Or set loadGeneratorOptions in command to use generator's option().

You should add command.js to generator folder and export in index.js.

Next JHipster version will always add command.js in generate-blueprint command.

The most simple fix is to add to generator's index.js:

export const command = { loadGeneratorOptions: true, configs: {} };

firstly thanks for your valuable time

Now below error is coming... @mshima
