Re: [Fab-user] lcd seems broken

[Issa Ashwash]

This context manager is identical to cd, except that it changes a different env var (lcwd, instead of cwd) and thus only affects the invocation of local and the local arguments to get/put.

From http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.10/api/core/context_managers.html#fabric.context_managers.lcd

If you use local('pwd'), it will reflect the change.

>>> local('pwd')
[localhost] local: pwd
/home/issa
''
>>> with lcd("/usr/bin"):
...   local('pwd')
... 
[localhost] local: pwd
/usr/bin
''
>>>

with lcd("/does/not/exist"):

...prints the same location name twice. lcd doesn't throw an error, which I would have thought it would.

Is this what is expected?
