Hi Anurag, Please check out the docs on how Fabric executes your tasks:
http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9/usage/execution.html The key here is that right now, only the @hosts decorators for the task actually called on the command line will take effect -- not subtasks. If you can provide more details I could give you a better idea of how to work around this for the time being. For example, if your example is almost literally how your code looks, you could set env.host_string = "x...@google.com" inside deploy() above the call to rdeploy(). Then any run() or sudo() or put(), etc etc, calls inside rdeploy() would connect to "x...@google.com" as you intended. If your @hosts line sets >1 host, you could simply wrap the rdeploy() call in a loop which does the same thing (sets env.host_string, calls rdeploy().) Also note that this behavior is highly likely to be upgraded in the future to become more flexible: http://code.fabfile.org/issues/show/21 Best, Jeff On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 1:37 AM, anurag uniyal <anuraguni...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have simplified my installation script to for demonstration, see below > > from fabric.api import run, env > from fabric.decorators import hosts > > @hosts('x...@www.google.com') > def rdeploy(): > run('pwd') > > def deploy(): > rdeploy() > > > now if i use > $ fab rdeploy -f del.py > [...@www.google.com] run: pwd > > it works as expected, because for rdeploy host has been set > > but if i call deploy, > $ fab deploy -f del.py > No hosts found.
