I'm just a beginning to use fabric. I'm running under a Windows 7 and using
MinGW with msys in order to replicate a unix-like bash shell environment.
When I use the local() function, the working directory is changed to the root
of my c: drive. If I call subprocess.call(), than the current working
directory is correct. If I set "shell=True", in the subprocess.call, then the
directory is also incorrect. My fabfile.py:
====================================
from fabric.api import local
import subprocess
def prepare_deploy():
local("pwd")
subprocess.call("pwd")
subprocess.call("pwd", shell=True)
====================================
What I see in my msys shell:
====================================
gkvj4293@SF-EISENMAN /c/Users/gkvj4293/tmp
$ pwd
/c/Users/gkvj4293/tmp
gkvj4293@SF-EISENMAN /c/Users/gkvj4293/tmp
$ fab prepare_deploy
/c
/c/Users/gkvj4293/tmp
/c
[localhost] local: pwd
Done.
====================================
Shouldn't local place me in my pwd? I'm using pre-built python binaries. My
versions:
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
$ fab --version
Fabric 1.4.2
ssh (library) 1.7.14
Perhaps Fabric should provide an option to set shell=False.
