Hi All, I'm using Fabric to manage a fairly standard (?) Django deployment. We have front end web server which handles static media and proxies to a pair of application servers.
Updating the application is fairly simple but it involves a sequence of steps across the different servers. For this we use roles, via the decorators, which works perfectly but we end up with a long command string: $ fab run_tests freeze_requirements update_repository create_snapshot update_virtualenv update_media update_nginx graceful_migrate What I want here is to wrap this in a single task so I can just call: $ fab deploy As you see coming, the trouble is that the @role decorators aren't evaluated within the deploy task, so this approach fails. It's easy enough to wrap in a shell script, but that's outside the fabfile. Otherwise there's the ugly option of manually munging env.host_string with the deploy task. 1. Is there another way I'm missing? (Quite possibly :-) 2. Would it be feasible to able a command line option to say, "get your list of tasks from here", which would address this use-case?
