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

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Neil,

Notice how Fabric didn't print out anything prefixed with 'out'
either, before returning control to your inspection code. That means
that Git really did not spit out any stdout/err when you ran it (and
that the repo on the "remote" end was not dirty). So that's the
problem - not run()'s behavior.

As to why that might be, my guess is if you're really using run() and
a host list of 'localhost', your home directory is another Git repo
that is *not* dirty, and perhaps you were expecting it to end up in
the repo you're running Fabric from (as if you'd used 'local()', for
example). The default cwd of a run() call is usually the connecting
user's home dir.

Best,
Jeff
