Re: [Fab-user] fab sudo() doesn't seem to work

[odonian]

Hi Jeff - thanks for the code/tip, I tried using the branch, installed it, and yet I'm still seeing the same problem: seems to hang, have to hit CTRL-C, then belatedly see a password prompt.

Note that when I did,

git checkout execution

...per your instructions, I get an error:

error: pathspec 'execution' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?

Probably I'm doing something stupid, as I'm not a git user.


Per Jordi's suggestion (thank you Jordi), setting sudo to require NOPASSWD results in the remote tail command working just fine.  So it is a password related problem.

I'm pretty sure my branch does this (I recall putting it in a while
ago) so you might want to give it a shot, if you're not averse to
installing Git:

http://github.com/bitprophet/fabric/tree/execution

* Install Git
* git clone git://github.com/bitprophet/fabric.git
* Enter the 'fabric' directory
* git checkout execution   (to switch to that branch)
* sudo python setup.py install   (or however you wish to get it onto
your PythonPath)
