[Fab-user] Trouble receiving a stdout string from run

[Neil Clayton]

Hi,

I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
The docs indicate that the output of a run() command will be a combination of 
stdout/err.

I'm executing a 'git status  --porcelain', on a repo with some changes.
Nothing however is returned in the task.

e.g:
def _is_dirty(ignore_untracked_files=False):
    untracked_files = '--untracked-files=no' if ignore_untracked_files else ''
    outputFromStatus = run('git status {0} --porcelain'.format(untracked_files))
    print "Got status a {1}, '{0}', stdout: {2}, stderr: 
{3}".format(outputFromStatus, type(outputFromStatus), outputFromStatus.stdout, 
outputFromStatus.stderr)
    abort(blue('ra ra ra'))
    return outputFromStatus != ''


And on the terminal I see:
Fetching at folder:/Volumes/Development/Users/neil/Sites/swb/../store/
[localhost] run: git status  --porcelain
Got status a <class 'fabric.operations._AttributeString'>, '', stdout: , 
stderr: 

Fatal error: ra ra ra

Aborting.


Yet if I do this manually:
(swb2)wisdom:store neil$ cd /Volumes/Development/Users/neil/Sites/swb/../store/
(swb2)wisdom:store neil$ git-status --porcelain
 M .idea/workspace.xml
 M DataObjects/Config.php
 M pages/config.php
(swb2)wisdom:store neil$ 



What am I missing?
