Feature request: Promptless install

[beruic]

I'm scripting some dev-setup for our company, and would like an option to accept all prompts and install without interaction.

@didrocks This would be an "accept default destination and override if already exists". The only part that would block you would be the password prompt. What do you think?

[didrocks]

yeah, sounds like a -f for "force", the others like autoaccepting license and the rest are already options. @beruic: FYI, you can already workaround the lack of this feature (if you reinstall in an already existing path), but rm -r $DIR && umake … $DIR

[beruic]

So for example umake ide pycharm-professional $DIR?
This is not in the man page, og the command line help output.

[beruic]

I don't see anything for autoaccepting license either. I'm using the PPA version.

[didrocks]

Use --help on any framework to see options particular to that framework (not all frameworks have license, that's why the option isn't global.
So, for instance:
umake ide pycharm-professional --help.

PR are accepted to enhance the manpage (indeed, we should have details autogenerated for each framework and those options would appear).

[beruic]

Thank you for the information.

In order to auto generate, could you not just use the output of each commands help for that?

[didrocks]

yeah, if my memroy is correct, it's already what's happening on the man page. The missing piece is to loop over each subcommands. Would be a nice contribution! :)

if we use the destdir option of pycharm for example, the shortcut in xfce menu(just an example, i don't know about the others wm) doesn't point to the good place, can we do something about that? should I open an issue?

[didrocks]

oh? definitively! Please paste the generated .desktop file from ubuntu make (path of the .desktop file and content) in a new bug report.
