Accessing the server array when using multiple servers

[ultrono]

I have a simple Envoy file as below (all working and displaying the correct output for each server):

@servers(['.se' => 'ee-se', '.co.uk' => 'ee-couk'])

@story('deploy')
pwd
@endstory

@task('pwd')
cd ~ && pwd;
@endtask

Is it possible to get the current server within a task i.e. if the script is currently deploying on the ".se" server I could access the ".se" or "ee-se"?

Thanks

I found out, that I can use $__container->getServer($name) to access a server in the TaskContainer https://github.com/laravel/envoy/blob/2.x/src/TaskContainer.php

Another trick is to

• put the @setup section before the @servers section
• define a variable for your server in the @setup section
• use this variable in the @servers section and in any task you like

Example:

@setup
  $server = 'myuser@mydomain.com';
@endsetup

@servers(['localhost' => '127.0.0.1', 'web' => $server])

But remember that a task may be executed on multiple servers and these ideas will not help you finding the actual server.
