Hi, I'm trying to run a task on the servers of a role minus some hosts specified on the commandline, but I just cannot get it to remember -x...
Here's my code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ import os import paraproxy from fabric.api import env, run, puts EXCLUDE_FILE = '~/.hosts_excluded' env.roledefs = { 'mailin' : [ 'x601', 'x602' ], 'mailout' : [ 'x603', 'x604' ], } env.roledefs['mail'] = env.roledefs['mailin']+env.roledefs['mailout'] def set_excludes(excludes=EXCLUDE_FILE): with open(os.path.expanduser(excludes)) as fd: env.exclude_hosts.extend([ host.strip() for host in fd.readlines() ]) puts("genrating hostlists...") puts("Excludes from cli: %s" % ', '.join(env.exclude_hosts)) set_excludes() puts("Excludes cli/file: %s" % ', '.join(env.exclude_hosts)) puts("... done") def do_date(): run('date') % /opt/python-2.7/bin/fab -f roles.py -R mail -x x601,x602 do_date genrating hostlists... Excludes from cli: x601, x602 Excludes cli/file: x601, x602, x204, x404, x203, x403, x25 ... done [x601] Executing task 'do_date' [x601] run: date [x601] out: Thu Aug 18 15:04:44 CEST 2011 [x601] out: [x602] Executing task 'do_date' [x602] run: date [x602] out: Thu Aug 18 15:04:45 CEST 2011 [x602] out: [x603] Executing task 'do_date' [x603] run: date [x603] out: Thu Aug 18 15:04:46 CEST 2011 [x603] out: [x604] Executing task 'do_date' [x604] run: date [x604] out: Thu Aug 18 15:04:46 CEST 2011 [x604] out: Done. Doh, -x ignored... It seems I don't completely get how and when hosts, exclude_hosts and roles are mixed to pass on to a task. And yes, I have read the manual.
