Should interactive mode ask you about creating new stacks?

Open ejholmes opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

The current behavior of --interactive is that any new stacks will get created, without any prompt. But this can be potentially dangerous (or at the very least, annoying) if you accidentally make a change, like changing the stack name, resulting in a whole new stack getting created.

Should stacker prompt you before creating a stack when using --interactive mode?

My quick reaction is yes it should prompt before making any changes including creates.

I can see it either way. It definitely was a design decision to have it not bother you about creates (since they were deemed "safe") - only when it was actually making a change to an existing stack. I'd be fine with changing it though.

I'd vote yes, but now that starts to complicate #583, since the new stacks won't have a changeset.
