Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-7808:
----------------------------------------
Thank you, please don't assume anything about my background and keep focus on the technical discussion.
My premise is as follows:
- interactive tasks are convenience tasks to reduce intimidation for beginners. That is the only reason for their existence as they server no other purpose and cannot be automated and add to the brittleness
- Changing the database from derby to another database is a more advanced task. Hence the person making the switch is capable easily of passing simple flags like -PuserName=whatever
- Many tasks by default do not require inputting data readers and I see no difference in particular to the createTenant task. I would also argue it is much more complex to figure out _what_ data readers to load than something trivial and minor as figuring out the syntax on how to pass a flag by typing -PtenantReaders=ext,demo,seed (which is also well documented in README.md)
Hence, and in reference to my above comments, the interactive tasks add no value as they just take on mandatory flag and pass it, stopping the build process in the middle and adding unnecessary code bloat.

>
> As explained in OFBIZ-7772 and OFBIZ-7773 we want to test the possiblity to add Gradle Interactive tasks using
https://github.com/tkruse/gradle-groovysh-plugin> The idea is to have a good general solution to allow users to not feel a funtional regression with the 3 interactive tasks we had before, namely
> create-component
> create-admin-user-login
> create-tenant and all tasks it depends on
