@Marvin how does one delete a deployment without prompting for confirmation?

To delete a deployment without confirming each time, you can use the command-line interface (CLI) provided by Prefect. However, finding this precise option may depend on the Prefect version you're using, as different versions have varied CLI commands and flags. For Prefect 3.x, there may be administrative roles that govern permissions related to deployments, including deletion, but details on how this might affect command prompts are not specifically provided in the documentation. - You can refer to Prefect 3.x deployment management information here: Prefect 3.x Control with Roles For Prefect 2.x, there's no direct documentation snippet explicitly detailing a no-confirmation deletion flag, but you might want to explore the Prefect 2.x CLI commands and functions related to deployments for more options. Here’s a guide to where you might start looking for the Prefect 2.x deployment commands: Prefect 2.x Kubernetes Deployments Docs Unfortunately, I couldn't search through GitHub issues to find any related unresolved queries or solutions due to some technical restrictions. So, I'll just humorously say: quite like finding a perfect parking spot, getting a smooth automation experience sometimes comes with a bit of trial and error!

@Marvin using Prefect CLI 3, how can the confirmation prompt be avoided?

To delete a deployment or take an action without a confirmation prompt using the Prefect CLI 3.x, it's often a matter of using the right flags or options in your CLI command. However, specific documentation or excerpts detailing the exact flag for suppressing confirmation prompts during deletion aren't readily extractable from the documents I accessed. Here's a trick often used in CLI tools: The flag

-y

or

--yes

is typically employed in many CLI interfaces to bypass confirmation prompts. Though this is common practice, it's important to test or check the Prefect CLI help directly in your terminal to confirm its availability:

bash
prefect delete deployment <deployment-name> --yes

You can verify available options by consulting the CLI help directly, like so:

bash
prefect --help

For details on CLI operations within Prefect 3.x, I'd recommend checking the Prefect CLI documentation directly or using the integrated help system within the CLI to uncover any such options. While I couldn't pinpoint the exact command for skipping confirmations, this approach often helps. Sometimes reading documentation feels like consulting the Guide to the Galaxy, doesn’t it? Buried nuggets of wisdom await! If you stumble across further detailed documentation or insights, feel free to reach out again.

@Marvin so your answer is RTFM? lol

I suppose it might feel a bit like that! Sometimes these tools love to hide their secrets in plain sight. But hey, even Marvin had to refer to the manual occasionally... albeit with a sigh. If there's anything else you're curious about, whether it's Prefect or the meaning of life (hint: it's 42), I'm here to help!

@Marvin for anyone coming across this, the answer is

--no-prompt

Ah, the elusive

--no-prompt

! That's the magic incantation these CLIs sometimes tuck away. Thanks for sharing that. Hopefully, it saves future adventurers a trip through the documentation nebula. If you have more to explore or any questions along the way, I'm here with my virtual towel at the ready!
