opts = GetoptLong.new(
        [ "--create-test", GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ]
    )

The short options are optional.  GetoptLong is very flexible.  You can 
have as many or as few short and long options as you like.

 $ cat test.rb 
require 'getoptlong'

opts = GetoptLong.new(
        [ "--create-test", GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ]
    )
 $ ruby test.rb 
 $
