How do I properly use --override parameter of tfx extension create or tfx extension publish

Question

I'm trying to override the 'version' field of vss-extension.json when publishing my extension, but can't get the --override parameter to work.

I can get overrides-file to work like this:

tfx extension create --overrides-file override.json

where override.json contains one line: {"version": "0.0.9999"}

But when I try it with --override like this:

tfx extension create --override {"version": "0.0.9999"}

I get this:

error: Error: Failed to parse JSON argument override. Info: SyntaxError: Unexpec ted token v in JSON at position 1

I've tried various things, like adding single-quotes outside the curly braces, or omitting the curly braces but I get similar errors.

I am using version 0.5.4 of the "TFS Cross Platform Command Line Interface"

tfx extension create --override "{\"version\": \"0.0.9999\"}"
