Use Case
--no-dds is used when running Flutter Driver tests but you want to disable starting the DDS (Dart Development Service), which can cause problems when the test device is not accessible from the computer (e.g. a mobile device or a simulator/emulator).
An example of this problem can be found here: #84069 and here #90410
Proposal
I think that this argument option should be displayed when running flutter driver --help
Additional Context
- Run
flutter drive --help
Expected results: The --no-dds argument is listed, explaining what it does
Actual results: The --no-dds argument is missing.
