[Fab-user] Redirecting fab output truncates lines

[Geir Engebakken]

I am trying to get a listing of the output from fab -list into a file, but it seems to truncate the line length to 80 characters, so the captured output looks like this :

econfluence.create_new_confluence_user Create a new confluence user in ...
econfluence.delete_confluence_user Delete a confluence user in crow...

As I would like to get the docstring text also this is annoying. I have tried setting COLUMNS env variable, but that doesn't work. Any idea whats happening, and how to get full lines to the file?

Forgot to mention that this is fabric 1.6.2, and we should probably upgrade :)

As a hack, I found out that fabric.utils has a _pty_size which defaults to 80 for column width, I changed that to 200 and now I get the full listing, but I don't know if this could cause other problems ....
