Re: [Fab-user] Spaces/characters not escaping properly

[John Harris]

Unfortunately none of those solutions work.

C:\\Users\\John\\Some Folder\\training results in:

ValueError: 'C:\Users\John\Some\ Folder\training\this' is not a valid local path or glob.

C:/Users/John/Some Folder/training results in: 

ValueError: 'C:/Users/John/Some\ Folder/training\this' is not a valid local path or glob.

os.path.normcase(path) results in:

ValueError: 'c:\users\john\some\ folder raining\this' is not a valid local path or glob.

The escaping of the \t I can do fine. It's not handling the space in the 'Some Folder' properly. Any ideas?

You have to escape your backslashes ( \ ). You can either do: C:\\Users\\John\\Some Folder\\training, C:/Users/John/Some Folder/training (yes, Windows supports this), or os.path.normcase(path).

I think that should cover it.

I'm trying to switch to a local folder then copy that to a remote machine. I'm experiencing the following issue:

def cp_file():

        put('this', '/usr/something/somethingelse', use_sudo=True)

ValueError: 'C:\Users\John\Some\ Folder raining\this' is not a valid local path or glob.

Any help would be much appreciated,
