Interactive Rake Tasks

[Steve Martocci]

Anyone have a guide or a good example gem/rake task that prompts the
user for input and does logic based on it?

I want to write an interactive installer for a plugin.

Might be overkill but Radiant CMS has a task called rake dn:bootstrap
that asks some questions at the end. Would that help?

Looking through the source for Radiant shows that you should see:
http://dev.radiantcms.org/browser/trunk/radiant/lib/tasks/database.rake
which connects to:
http://dev.radiantcms.org/browser/trunk/radiant/lib/radiant/setup.rb


Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mohit.

It looks like the radiant tasks I looked at were using highline, this is
perfect, thanks.
