Re: [Fab-user] Purely local tasks

[Jorge Vargas]

Sadly no, if you search the archives they are many attempts to do this and in the end the best option is to just use local() all over the place, which removes some of the advanced functions of fabric like the puts() you mention. 

Or configure your machine/environment in a way that fabric can ssh to the same machine you are runnings things from foolling it into thinking it's a remote machine.

Hi,

Does Fabric have a concept of purely local tasks?

Part of my fabfile loads an external JSON file to build fabric's env hosts and other variables. I have created a task to dump this information back to stdout (for testing and debugging). This task never interacts with a host. In my mind, it is a purely local task. When using puts() with show_prefix=True, Fabric shows that this task is running with the first host. Curious if there is a better way to do this.

Thanks,
Jon
