Re: [Fab-user] Consolidating tasks that target both local and remote environments

[Paul Walsh]

That is a good idea that would lead to very clean code. So, "127.0.0.1" is just another "remote host".

I'll give it a try, thanks.

I've found that running sshd on localhost allows one to treat it like a remote host when writing tasks.

Hi Jens,

That is a nice solution, thanks. I'll try something in this direction.

Hi Paul,

I have a function that uses `local` for localhost, and `run` otherwise. See https://gist.github.com/JensRantil/655b7f9ecd5af933f792 Not sure it solves your problem, but maybe could inspire you?

Cheers,

Jens

Hi all,

I've been using Fabric for some time, and just learning what I need to know as I need to know it.

However, in the last months, I've started packaging up my commonly used tasks so I can just include the package in my various projects, and not copy/paste my fabfiles.

In packaging my code, I looked for ways to make things more generic, and the one thing I find annoying in this endeavour is the distinction between `local` on one hand, and `run` & `sudo` on the other. I have quite a bit of code that I end up writing twice - one task to wrap calls in local, and another one exactly the same, but using run and/or sudo.

I am wondering if there are any best practices for dealing with this.

A simple example:

#fabfile/local.py
@task
def db_drop():
    local('code to drop the db')

#fabfile/remote.py
@task
db_drop():
    run('code to drop the db')
