From an email that was sent to me: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You are about to push 135 topics to zanata. Continue? (Yes/No) <press Enter here> (Expected either repeat of question or "please choose y/n" or something.) This is what you get: Output: Topics successfully pushed to Zanata for translation. That happens immediately and you get dropped back to a prompt. If instead you type "y" or "Yes", you get this: You are about to push 135 topics to zanata. Continue? (Yes/No) y Starting to push topics to zanata... Pushing topics to zanata 5% Done Pushing topics to zanata 10% Done etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This as mentioned should be asking again or using a default. All that is happening at the moment is when the answer isn't yes/no then the program prints the success message and exits without doing anything.
