Re: [Fab-user] Sticking more stuff into env from the commandline

[Christian Vest Hansen]

If the variables are not very varying, you can put them in a config file that you load with the -c argument: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.2.2/usage/fab.html#command-line-options

Otherwise a `let` command (a generalized form of Simons suggestion) is fairly easy to write:

@Task

def let(**args):

env.update(args)

Note that the above code is reproduced from memory and that I have not been able to test it.

The idea is that the updates to `env` performed by this command are used by other commands that execute later in the flow:

$ fab let:a=b do-something-with-a

I hope this helps.

And if I have a whole bunch of tasks that depend on the same env
variables being present do I then need to duplicate this for every task
definition?
