Question

As an additional control mechanism I'd like to add an additional step to my deployment that displays a message and asks for confirmation.

In one of my projects I have a certain prerequisit to be met in order for the deployment to succeed. I'd like to display a message á la "Did you make sure to do XYZ (yes|no)" and only proceed with deployment if "yes" is entered.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Try use this:

askConfirmation(string $message[, bool $default = false])

Could you give code example, I'm having hard time figuring out how to ask for confirmation AND if user answers no -> cancel deploy.

[antonmedv]

Something like this:

task('ask', function() {
    if(!askConfirmation('Deploy app?')) {
        die('Ok, no deploy then.');
    }
});

before('deploy', 'ask');

Thank you!
