Method: Foreman::Thor::Shell::Basic#ask

Defined in:
lib/foreman/vendor/thor/lib/thor/shell/basic.rb

#ask(statement, *args) ⇒ Object

Asks something to the user and receives a response.

If asked to limit the correct responses, you can pass in an array of acceptable answers. If one of those is not supplied, they will be shown a message stating that one of those answers must be given and re-asked the question.

If asking for sensitive information, the :echo option can be set to false to mask user input from $stdin.

If the required input is a path, then set the path option to true. This will enable tab completion for file paths relative to the current working directory on systems that support Readline.

Example

ask(“What is your name?”)

ask(“What is your favorite Neopolitan flavor?”, :limited_to => [“strawberry”, “chocolate”, “vanilla”])

ask(“What is your password?”, :echo => false)

ask(“Where should the file be saved?”, :path => true)
