I have read the Filing Issues and subsequent “How to Get Help” sections of the documentation.
I have searched the issues (including closed ones) and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Issue

The following CLI invokation works as expected:

$ pelican --extra-settings SITEURL='"https://kevin.deldycke.com"' --verbose ./content
(...)

But swapping the --extra-settings and --verbose option make the CLI fail:

$ pelican --verbose --extra-settings SITEURL='"https://kevin.deldycke.com"' ./content

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
