[standalone@localhost:9999 /] help --commands

Commands available in the current context:

To read a description of a specific command execute 'command_name --help'.

[standalone@localhost:9999 /]

I wanted to see a complete list of commands.  "help --commands" is supposed to give me the commands for the current context, though it may not be the complete command list.  But it doesn't give any.

There was a jira issue AS7-1161 (--commands argument for help command), but it has been marked as resolved and done for 7.0.0 final.  I'm on 7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT "Steropes"

is there an issue in "help --commands", and what is the best way to get the complete list of commands?

Perhaps it was obsoleted by the tab completion feature?

just created an issue https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5433

I think help --commands is still pretty useful.  Tab completion is more like a shortcut for such a command.  The result of tab completion contains both available commands and operation requests, which is a bit different than --commands.
