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

There's probably a better way to handle it, but you could pass both hosts to deploy(), and then in host1_deploy() and host2_deploy() check env.host:

def host1_deploy():
    if env.host in ['host1']:
         run(whatever1)

def host2_deploy():
    if env.host in ['host2']:
         run(whatever2)

@hosts('host1','host2')
def deploy():
    host1_deploy()
    host2_deploy()
