Re: [Fab-user] workon

Hi Jiri,

Offhand I don't see anything obviously wrong, workon should work as
long as it's being used as a prefix, and your use of virtualenvwrapper
seems fine. See below for some ideas on figuring out what's up.

Did you mean "with prefix(..." instead of "with(..." ? I assume that
was just a typo in your mail but wanted to double check.

Try calling fab with "--show=debug" and note the commands Fabric
prints out (e.g. [hostname] run: /bin/bash -l -c "workon mymy && ls").
Then try copy/pasting them (starting with the /bin/bash!) into your
real shell session on the server, and see if it still works, or if it
breaks.

Chances are the "full" versions will break even on the real shell, and
then you can try to figure out why (or show us what those commands are
and maybe we can tell).


Best,
Jeff
