When a manifest file is used the cf command line tool does not prompt for the name

[pradine]

When I have a manifest that contains just the environment variables that I want to set as follows:

---

env:
IBM_JVM_LICENSE: L-AWON-8GALN9
IBM_LIBERTY_LICENSE: L-JTHS-95XRL8

The cf command line tool does not prompt for the application name, even though it does prompt for other things as follows:

C:\temp\liberty\wlp\usr\servers\defaultServer\dropins>cf push --buildpack https:
//github.com/cloudfoundry/ibm-websphere-liberty-buildpack.git
Using manifest file manifest.yml

Hi,

As we commented on your other issue, cf does not support manifests without certain attributes. Go to http://docs.cloudfoundry.com/docs/using/deploying-apps/manifest.html and scroll to the bottom to see a table of attributes. Attributes with a 'y' in the 'required' column must be in your manifest if you are using a manifest.

Best,

@ruthie @charliebevis
