Currently the _updatePublisher has 2 command line options to:

  1. force creation of input-cache folder if it doesn't exist
  2. skip all prompts, assume Yes for everything (i.e. when asked to update publisher, and when asked to update scripts)
    @David Pyke noted that the command line parameters are respectively -f (to force) and /f to skip prompts - which is not very creative use of the alphabet
    What is best to do? - especially asking those who use these parameters:

/poll Command line parameters for _updatePublisher:

  • y to skip all "upgrade..." prompts, -f to force folder creation
  • only one parameter y to skip all prompts, including folder creation (if not specified and folder does not exist, user will get a prompt)
  • folder creation is always forced, -y skips update prompts

Not a lot of responses for this. So, let's go with -f means create the update-cache directory, -y skips prompts and implies -f
