Question

I have a command service app start-demo requires me to type sudo service app start-demo in the command line.

I used sudo(service app start-demo) and sudo(sudo service app start-demo) but I still get

Warning: sudo() encountered an error (return code 1) while executing ‘sudo service app start-demo’

I have no problem executing that as a command line in a terminal.

I am not sure if SADeprecationWarning: counts as a failure to fabric?

Thanks.

Aborting.

the code

def pserve():
    print '### I am starting demo ###'
    #with settings(warn_only=True):
    sudo('sudo service app start-demo')
    #sudo('service app start-demo')

either sudo command will fail.

This is prolly related to this mention in the faq, but also if the command doesn’t return 0 (unix standard for all good) it’ll fail-fast unless you tell it to warn only.
