Set options per task

[mdesantis]

I have a Capistrano task for rails runner remote execution:

require 'shellwords'

namespace :invoke do

  desc "Execute rails runner on a remote server"
  task :runner do
    if ENV['COMMAND']
      on roles(:app) do
        within current_path do
          with rails_env: fetch(:rails_env) do
            execute :rails, :runner, ENV['COMMAND'].shellescape
          end
        end
      end

    else
      puts "\n\nFailed! You need to specify the 'COMMAND' parameter",
           "Usage: cap <stage> invoke:runner COMMAND=your-command"
    end
  end

end

In this task, but only in this one, I would like to disable truncation. Is it possible to access to Airbrussh formatter within the task in order to set truncation to false?

Capistrano is not really designed to handle per-task logging options.

However, you could hack something together inside your task like this:

task :runner do
  original_truncate = Airbrussh.configuration.truncate
  Airbrussh.configuration.truncate = false
  begin
    # ...
  ensure
    Airbrussh.configuration.truncate = original_truncate
  end
end
