task select for multiple stages

[arderyp]

this works:

task(...)->select("stage=dev")

In deployer 6 we could do:

task(...)->onStage("dev", "qa")

I do not know how to replicate that on Deployer 7. It seems like a common use case, yet isn't covered in the documentation or migration notes. None of these work:

task(...)->select("stage=dev&qa")
task(...)->select("stage=dev|qa")
task(...)->select("stage=dev&stage=qa")
task(...)->select("stage=dev|stage=qa")

maybe this is the answer (#1608 (comment))

task(...)->select("stage=dev,qa")

Would appreciate feedback from @antonmedv if you've got time

[arderyp]

further testing reveals that task(...)->select("stage=dev,qa") does not work. The task is executed in dev, but not in qa. @antonmedv can you point me in the right direction?

[arderyp]

this also does not work:

task(...)->select("stage=dev")->select("stage=qa");

The second stage overrides the first and the task only runs in qa.

Jeez. Okay, after digging through lots of github issue I found a link to this: https://lorisleiva.com/deploy-your-laravel-app-from-scratch/create-your-own-deployer-recipes#labelling-hosts-and-filtering-tasks

I guess the solution is task(...)->select("stage=dev,stage=qa");

I really really really hope the new documentation is coming soon, especially since many like me were forced into 6->7 migration due to php 8.
