Suspends execution and prompts question to the console (STDOUT). An operator (manual tester) can then enter a line of text and hit <ENTER>. The entered text is returned, and both question and the result is added to the output using puts.
If you want a beep to happen (to grab the manual tester‘s attention), just prepend ASCII character 7 to the question:
ask("#{7.chr}How many cukes are in the external system?")
If that doesn‘t issue a beep, you can shell out to something else that makes a sound before invoking ask.
Embed src of MIME type mime_type into the output. The src argument may be a path to a file, or if it‘s an image it may also be a Base64 encoded image. The embedded data may or may not be ignored, depending on what kind of formatter(s) are active.
