How to use “quickly run” and pass command-line arguments?

Question

I'm trying to implement command-line arguments in https://launchpad.net/wakeonplan to use them in static quicklist but I can't test them because quickly run doesn't pass arguments to the script and bin/wakeonplan can't find settings location:

(process:18244): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'net.launchpad.wakeonplan' is not installed

P.S. I haven't yet pushed the latest code to the branch because it's highly experimental.

From the help:

$ quickly run help

Runs your application. This is the best way to try test it out while you are developing it. It starts up the main project window.

$ quickly run -- values - to pass '-whatever' and 'values' to the executed program. Without that if you use for instance --help, it would be Quickly help and not your program one.

So for instance, I have a program, that I import sys and add the following to the finish_initializing function:

print sys.argv

I then run from the command line:

quickly run -- param1=value1 param2=value2

Which then outputs:

['bin/ui-test', 'param1=value1', 'param2=value2']
