New to python fabric and not able to run basic code

I have a basic code which doesn't run:

def hello():
    print("uptime")

When I run the following command in terminal fab hello

I get this error:

No idea what 'hello' is!

Instead of using this,

from fabric import task
@task
def hello():
  print("uptime")

fabric has been expecting like this,

from fabric import task
@task
def hello(c):
    print("uptime")

passing an argument (c) as the first argument for each task since Fabric expects the Connection object as the first argument

Hope this solves for someone

The issue is that the new fabric task method (as discussed here - http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.14/usage/tasks.html) is to use the @task decorator. The equivalent example for your code is:

from fabric import task

@task
def hello():
  print("uptime")

Running fab hello should yield the expected output.

You most likely have to type:

fab hello()

or

$ fab hello
