[Fab-user] skipping editor while executing the remote command

[Roshan Shetty]

Hi guys,

We are manually doing *git pull *on 20+ servers.

once the git pull gets completed, it will open *some log message in nano
editor.*

I'm trying to automate the above process.

But the problem is with log messages opening in editor.

Is there any way to skip that part using fabric ?

Roshan

I would use execute to call my task to run git pull, then have the task
return the output to the parent task and write it to a log file for viewing
in nano. For example:

from fabric.api import run, cd, execute, task, local

@task
def git_pull():
with cd('/home/myuser/mygitrepo'):
return run('git pull')

@task
def bulk_pull():
results = execute(git_pull, hosts=['host1', 'host2'])
with open('gitpull.log', 'w') as f:
for host, output in results.iteritems():
f.write("%s\n====\n%s\n\n" % (host, output))
local('nano gitpull.log')



Note that you are no longer able to specify hosts via command line with
this method, since bulk_pull should only target one host. Run via "fab
bulk_pull"
