[Fab-user] Issues with "local" and salt

[Lalit Jain]

Hi All

I'm using fabric+salt to deploy several ec2 instances. I'm trying to run the following line in my fabfile:

local("sudo salt 'master-as-minion' test.ping")

The command "sudo salt 'master-as-minion' test.ping" works fine in the command line but the fabfile does not print any output. 

The output should look like:

master-as-minion:

    True

but the fab file prints (with paramiko turned on):

[localhost] local: sudo salt 'master-as-minion' test.ping

Done.

DEBUG:paramiko.transport:EOF in transport thread

DEBUG:paramiko.transport:EOF in transport thread

Disconnecting from localhost... done.

I'd be happy to provide any more information that could be used to debug this.
