Host settings lost after changing tasks

[devjk1]

In deploy.php only a hostname is set for a host host('prod');
Then in a custom task I configure the host using dep customtask. All settings are set successfully. But upon running dep provision the settings are lost. What can I do to solve this?

task('customtask', function () {
    $php_version    = '8.4';
    $db_type        = 'mysql';;
    .....
    currentHost()->set('hostname', function () {
        return ask(' Enter the domain or ip of your server: ');
    });
    currentHost()->set('php_version', $php_version);
    currentHost()->set('db_type', $db_type);
   .....

Thank you for your time

How do you run it? Run just before provision:

For me settings are preserved:

<?php

namespace Deployer;

localhost();

task('customtask', function () {
    $php_version = '8.4';
    $db_type = 'mysql';
    currentHost()->set('hostname', function () {
        return ask(' Enter the domain or ip of your server: ');
    });
    currentHost()->set('php_version', $php_version);
    currentHost()->set('db_type', $db_type);
});

task('provision', function () {
    writeln('Provisioning... {{php_version}}');
});

task('deploy', ['customtask', 'provision']);

Like you showed in the above code, the settings were maintained if the tasks were lumped. Would it be reasonable to lump a customtask, the default dep provision, and the dep deploy tasks all together?

yes
