Hi Jon:
cap has two parameters that will help you. Just replace the calls to
ENV with normal cap variables.
-s, --set NAME=VALUE
Specify a variable and it's value to set. This will be set after
loading all recipe files.
-S, --set-before NAME=VALUE
Specify a variable and it's value to set.
Here's an example...
task :hello do
puts "hello #{target}"
end
Then run:
$ cap hello -q -s target=me
hello me
In your case, you should be able to call:
cap deploy -s option=foo
Regards,
Bradley
