Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I wasn’t sure about env, but tried anyway. And thank you for the link; I’ll keep an eye on that one! -Chris From: Jeff Forcier <j...@bitprophet.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 8, 2019 2:50 PM To: Chris Satterthwaite <ch...@cmsconstruct.com> Cc: Fabric Mailing List <fab-user@nongnu.org> Subject: Re: [Fab-user] command timeouts via Connection.run Hi Chris, Was the former, at least in my case, apologies! Looks like this is a missing feature in 2.x, we simply aren't providing any way for you to pass that timeout parameter yet :( Your use of 'env' is unfortunately a bit off the mark, that's for shell environment variables, which doesn't help here. I searched the tracker and somebody made a ticket for this recently, which I just expanded on: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/1922 The tl;dr is that the command runner level needs to understand timeouts, and then Fabric's use of that can subclass/extend such that it tickles the timeout param in paramiko.Client.exec_command. (See links in that ticket.) Best, Jeff On Tue, Jan 8, 2019 at 11:42 AM Chris Satterthwaite <ch...@cmsconstruct.com <mailto:ch...@cmsconstruct.com> > wrote: Is this newsgroup active? It’s been a week and I haven’t seen any activity. Since I posted for the first time, I’m not sure if my message just hit bad timing over holidays, or if it’s stumped folks and I should post elsewhere. Thanks!

I’m new to Fabric so I’m assuming I have missed something straightforward; I appreciate any guidance you can provide. I scripted a quick test case below, using Paramiko’s exec_command and Fabric’s Connection.run. The command I’m sending from Windows over to a Linux remote endpoint is 'date; sleep 3; date', and attempting to force a timeout after 1 second. The result of the script shows the following, which illustrates Paramiko timing out as expected, but Fabric not timing out: ================================================= Calling useFabric with timeout 1: {'hide': True, 'env': {'command_timeout': '1'}} result is ok: True STDOUT: Mon Dec 31 12:38:19 CST 2018 STDOUT: Mon Dec 31 12:38:22 CST 2018 useFabric runtime in seconds: 3 Calling useParamiko with timeout 1: STDOUT: Mon Dec 31 12:38:22 CST 2018 Timed out useParamiko runtime in seconds: 1 ================================================= Test script follows: ================================================= import sys import traceback import socket import time from fabric import Connection from paramiko.client import SSHClient, AutoAddPolicy def useFabric(): try: timeout = 1 client = Connection(host='192.168.121.190', user='chris', connect_timeout='10', connect_kwargs={'password': 'changeMe!'}) runtimeArgs = {'hide': True, 'env': {'command_timeout' : str(timeout)}} print(' {}'.format(runtimeArgs)) result = client.run('date; sleep 3; date', **runtimeArgs) print(' result is ok: {}'.format(result.ok)) for line in result.stdout.split('\n'): if len(line) > 1: print(' STDOUT: {}'.format(line)) if len(result.stderr) > 1: print(' STDERR: {}'.format(result.stderr)) except socket.timeout: print(' Timed out: {}'.format(str(sys.exc_info()[2]))) except: stacktrace = traceback.format_exception(sys.exc_info()[0], sys.exc_info()[1], sys.exc_info()[2]) print(' Exception: {}'.format(stacktrace)) def useParamiko(): try: timeout = 1 client = SSHClient() client.load_system_host_keys() client.set_missing_host_key_policy(AutoAddPolicy) client.connect('192.168.121.190', username='chris', password='changeMe!')
