Question
Asked By – Donovan
How can I pass a parameter to a fabric task when calling “fab” from the command line? For example:
def task(something=''):
print "You said %s" % something
$ fab task "hello"
You said hello
Done.
Is it possible to do this without prompting with fabric.operations.prompt?
Now we will see solution for issue: Pass parameter to fabric task
Answer
Fabric 2 task arguments documentation:
http://docs.pyinvoke.org/en/latest/concepts/invoking-tasks.html#task-command-line-arguments
Fabric 1.X uses the following syntax for passing arguments to tasks:
fab task:'hello world'
fab task:something='hello'
fab task:foo=99,bar=True
fab task:foo,bar
You can read more about it in Fabric docs.
