Can a Python Fabric task invoke other tasks and respect their hosts lists?

Question

I have a fabfile like the following:

@hosts(\'host1\')
def host1_deploy():
    \"\"\"Some logic that is specific to deploying to host1\"\"\"

@hosts(\'host2\         


        

Answer 1

This is lame but it works as of Fabric 1.1.2

def host1_deploy():
    """Some logic that is specific to deploying to host1"""
    if env.host in ["host1"]:
        pass #this is only on host2

def host2_deploy():
    """Some logic that is specific to deploying to host2"""
    if env.host in ["host2"]:
        pass #this is only on host2

def deploy():
    """"Deploy to both hosts, each using its own logic"""
    host1_deploy()
    host2_deploy()

here's my test code:

@task
@roles(["prod_web","prod_workers"])
def test_multi():
    test_multi_a()
    test_multi_b()

def test_multi_a():
    if env.host in env.roledefs["prod_web"]:
        run('uname -a')

def test_multi_b():
    if env.host in env.roledefs["prod_workers"]:
        run('uname -a')
