Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Deploying Django with Fabric, here is a quick summary:

A look at how to manage deployment complexity with Django using Fabric. Something of a continuation on the post from yesterday.

You are responding to this comment written by Alexander Artemenko on November 7th 2008, 09:17.

I have found, that invoke command, repeated in the loop, actually runs only once. All following tries to invoke same function fail with warning "Skipping xxxxxx (already invoked).".

I looked into the fabric's sources, and found, this interesting docstring in the infoke function:

Invokes the supplied command only if it has not yet been run (with the given arguments, if any).

So, to make it works for different repositories, you need to use such code:

@@ python def git_pull(repo, parent, branch): "Updates the repository." config.repo = repo config.parent = parent config.branch = branch run("cd ~/git/$(repo)/; git pull $(parent) $(branch)")

def pull(): require('fab_hosts', provided_by=[production]) for repo, parent, branch in config.repos: invoke((git_pull, dict(repo=repo, parent=parent, branch=branch))) @@
