Re: [Fab-user] with_settings decorator generating RuntimeError (generator didn't yield)

[Felix Almeida]

Thank you Brandon!
Please keep me posted on your progress.

Perhaps it would be wise to remove this decorator from the documentation until 
it gets fixed (assuming it's a bug). What do you guys think?

Hi Felix,

You're not the first to hit this problem.  When I've tested in the past, it 
seems like the decorator code is getting executed more than once, but since it 
relies on generators, that means the second time fails.  I haven't yet figured 
out why that happens but I may take some time this weekend to come up with a 
minimal test case and go from there.
