HUBOT-FABRIC

Description

Fabric connector for hubot.

Configuration

Use following env varibales:

HUBOT_FABRIC_MAPPING defines fabfiles and its aliases. For example::

HUBOT_FABRIC_MAPPING='bar=/tmp/fab/bar.py&foo=/tmp/fab/foo.py'

HUBOT_FABRIC_SKIP_LINES_PATTERN regexp, defines what fabric output to skip. Use regexp's OR (|) to define a list of pattens (^fab|connecting). Defaults to::

HUBOT_FABRIC_SKIP_LINES_PATTERN='^\s*$' # (skip all empty lines).

Usage:

Use the alias to call the fabric commnds from the fabfile. When no argument is given, fab -l is called instead:

Hubot> hubot: bar
Hubot> Shell: Calling fab -f /tmp/fab/bar.py -l
Hubot> Shell: Available commands:
Hubot> Shell:     host_type
Hubot> Shell: Done fab -f /tmp/fab/bar.py -l.

All options are passed directly to fab:

Hubot> hubot: bar -H localhost host_type
Hubot> Shell: Calling fab -f /tmp/fab/bar.py -H localhost host_type
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] Executing task 'host_type'
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] run: echo bar
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] out: bar
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] out: 
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] run: uname -s
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] out: Linux
Hubot> Shell: [localhost] out: 
Hubot> Shell: Done.
Hubot> Shell: Disconnecting from localhost... done.
Hubot> Shell: Done fab -f /tmp/fab/bar.py -H localhost host_type.
Hubot>
