Sdkman-cli: Introduce quiet mode for install

[saw303]

I am trying to use GVM with Travis-CI but failed because the install command requires user input.

language: java

jdk:
  - openjdk7
  - oraclejdk7

before_install:
 - rm -Rf /home/travis/.gvm  # remove previous versions of GVM
 - curl -s get.gvmtool.net | bash
 - source "/home/travis/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh"
 - gvm install grails 2.2.0

script: grails test-app

This ends up waiting for a user input.

Do you want to use grails 2.2.0 now? (Y/n): 

It would be nice if there was a parameter to switch off user input (quiet mode)

gvm install -q grails 2.2.0

How about a config setting (rather than a command line option)?

- echo "gvm_install=Y" >> $GVM_DIR/etc/config
- echo "gvm_use=Y" >> $GVM_DIR/etc/config

(I'm not saying that works, just a suggestion for implementation, since there are no command line options yet in gvm, but there is a config file.)

That works for me.

Note, the flag has changed a few times since this commit. You must now use _gvm_auto_answer_
So, to quick edit your config:

echo "gvm_auto_answer=true" >> ~/.gvm/etc/config

All details of the config are on the site at http://gvmtool.net under Configuration.

I used this with good effect:
sed -i -e 's/sdkman_auto_answer=false/sdkman_auto_answer=true/g' /root/.sdkman/etc/config

The upgrade should already take care of this for you when migrating from GVM to sdkman.

Thanks for the note. I did a clean install of the latest sdkman; no upgrade involved. I still had to do this to get it to run with a puppet manifest. Thanks for the feedback.

Ah sorry, misread your comment. Yes, setting the config to true will
automatically answer the defaults on your behalf.

I haven't seen this documented anywhere, but this seems to work if you want to run a single command:

$ sdk install grails 3.0.9 < /dev/null

Result:

Found a previously downloaded grails 3.0.9 archive. Not downloading it again...

Installing: grails 3.0.9
Done installing!

Do you want grails 3.0.9 to be set as default? (Y/n): 
Setting grails 3.0.9 as default.

There should be a command line option for this, because it is useful, and many other package managers offer this. Writing to a config makes it more complex than necessary.
