Prompted when running core:delete-logs-data

Grant_Griffith · May 25, 2021, 11:54am

When I run the following via shell

/www/matomo/console core:delete-logs-data --dates=2019-01-01,2021-02-14

I get the following prompt… therefore can not schedule this to run during the early morning hours…

Preparing to delete all visits belonging to ALL websites between 2019-01-01 00:00:00 and 2021-02-14 00:00:00.
You are about to delete log data. This action cannot be undone, are you sure you want to continue? (Y/N)

Any input on how I can bypass the prompt or add a force to the options? Not finding a force option in the manuals.

Currently running on 4.2.1 version with plans to update to 4.3 in June sometime.

Thanks!
Grant

Hi,

Looking at the Matomo code:

github.com

matomo-org/matomo/blob/2b35b46a0988f8c3b6f848c59be8d7d918965a52/plugins/CoreAdminHome/Commands/DeleteLogsData.php#L169-L179


private function askForDeleteConfirmation(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{
    if ($input->getOption('no-interaction')) {
        return true;
    }
    $helper   = $this->getHelper('question');
    $question = new ConfirmationQuestion('<comment>You are about to delete log data. This action cannot be undone, are you sure you want to continue? (Y/N)</comment> ', false);
    return $helper->ask($input, $output, $question);
}

adding --no-interaction to the command should do what you want.
