Question

I am working with a 3rd party rake task that looks like this:

abort("rake aborted!") if ask("Are you sure?", ['y', 'n']) == 'n'

I am trying to write some additional rake tasks to automate this process. Is there any way to surpress this question coming up? Or somehow feed it a y via the command line to make it happy?

I can edit the Rakefile but that is a last resort.

Answer 1

You will be happy to know that there’s a unix command called yes. This will give you a constant stream of y which would be what you need.
