I am fairly new to fabric, so I hope my question is justified ;). Here it comes: I want to use the get command in order to pull a folder and all files/subfolders from a linux machine to my Win 7 PC with fabric. Each subfolder on its own can also contain subfolders and so on.
Eg:
- main_folder
--> file1
--> file2
-----> subfolder1
--------> file3
--------> file4
-----------> subfolder2
--------------> file5
What I see, is that the get command fails as soon as it sees the subfolder2 ? Fabric does not really give me a good reason, but I have a feeling that the get does not really work as recursive as I expected it to be :(. Here is an example when the get fails:
local path: backups/E1/E1_UPC_CH
remote path: /opstalj/backup/config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18/
[root@10.199.1.101:22] download: C:\scripts\fab\backups\E1\E1_UPC_CH\config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18\subfolder1\file1.conf <- /opstalj/backup/config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18/subfolder1/file1.conf
[root@10.199.1.101:22] download: C:\scripts\fab\backups\E1\E1_UPC_CH\config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18\subfolder1\file2.conf <- /opstalj/backup/config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18/subfolder1/file2.conf
[root@10.199.1.101:22] download: C:\scripts\fab\backups\E1\E1_UPC_CH\config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18\subfolder1\subfolder2 <- /opstalj/backup/config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18/subfolder1/subfolder2
Fatal error: get() encountered an exception while downloading '/opstalj/backup/config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18/'
Underlying exception:
Failure
As you can see, the get() resulted in the creation of:
- the main folder: config_backup_2014-08-27_09-18
- subfolder1
but aborted when it reached subfolder2 :( ...
I am using the following fabric version:
Fabric 1.9.1
Paramiko 1.14.0
Is it a bug ? Any workaround possible ? Or am I overlooking something ? Thanks in advance,
Jan
