Re: [Fab-user] when password is wrong

[Prasant J]

Thanks Brandon for the response!


I'm using fabric as library in my program.
I'm setting up environment first (env.user, env.password) and then
using run() to execute the command.

How can I set "abort-on-prompts" in this case? (I know how to use from
command line)

Could you please point me to an example or provide some inputs so that
I can use this feature?

Regards, Pj
