How to use deploy_after hook?

[g000m]

I have a similar agenda to this thread about theme security.

I want to delete the themes, and I’m trying to understand how to use hooks.

I have a task that works:

- name: Delete WP themes
  ansible.builtin.file:
    path: "{{ www_root }}/{{ item.key }}/{{ item.value.current_path | default('current') }}/web/wp/wp-content/themes/"
    state: absent
  with_dict: "{{ wordpress_sites }}"

I initially put it in build-after, and realized it was running too early. In the Deployments doc, the final hook listed is deploy_after. I’m seeing that the convention is to drop deploy_ from the filename of the hook, so this would be after.yml?

I put my task into after.yml (also tried deploy_after.yml) and tried putting it both in hooks folders:

• trellis/deploy-hooks/
• trellis/roles/deploy/hooks/

The task doesn’t run.

I see “Check if deploy_after scripts exist” in trellis/roles/deploy/tasks/main.yml exists, but due to my lack of familiarity with Ansible, I’m not clear what’s missing.

Thanks

PS, if you want to also remove them from sites that already have them downloaded, then you would need to use not the post-root-install-package callback, but also the post-update-cmd. So in that case, rather than the code in the Github PR, the Scripts section of your composer.json would look something like this "scripts": { "post-root-package-install": [ "php -r \"copy('.env.example', '.env');\"", "composer run remove-old-wp-themes" ], "post-update-cmd": [ "composer run remove-old-wp…
