Re: [Fab-user] workon

[Jiri Barton]

Hi,

yes that line with "with" was a typo.

with prefix('workon mymy'):
    run('ls')

with --show=debug gives me

bash: workon: command not found

Which is sort of obvious :-) Next, I tried plain ssh mymachine.com
workon mymy I got the same error. Which means the problem does not have
anything to do with fabric.

The question is what is in your .bash* .* files that makes it work? I
don't know what to put where. Here's what I have at the end of my
.bashrc on the remote machine:

export WORKON_HOME=~/envs
. /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I tried to put those two lines to

.profile
.bash_profile
.bash_login
(.bashrc)

all to no avail. I was wondering, what did you do on the remote machine
in order for this 'workon something' to work?

Thanks
Jiri


P.S. I'm using a workaround now but it's very ugly:

    with prefix('export WORKON_HOME=~/envs'):
        with prefix('source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh'):
            with prefix('workon uvar'):
                run('django-admin.py syncdb')
