Question

$ bundle exec cap -S branch=master production deploy --dry-run
/Users/myname/.rvm/lib/rvm/capistrano.rb:5: RVM - Capistrano integration was extracted to a separate gem, install: `gem install rvm-capistrano` and remove the `$LOAD_PATH.unshift` line, note also the 'set :rvm_type, :user' is now the default (instead of :system). (RuntimeError)

That’s what I get. Not sure what’s going on. Thoughts?

EDIT my deploy.rb

# RVM is used for ruby 1.9.2 - this is so cap can see the rvm gemset.
$LOAD_PATH.unshift "lib", File.expand_path('./lib', ENV['rvm_path'])

set :stages, %w(sandbox qa production)

require 'bundler/capistrano'

# this must be set before foreman/capistrano is read

require "foreman/capistrano"

after 'multistage:ensure' do
 role_from_chef :db, 'app', :limit => 1, :primary => true # perform db operations on one of the app servers

end

# These services are monitored by monit, but interacting with them that way
# is hugging-every-cat crazy. This means we're assuming two thin procs per
# app server; if that changes then remember to change this too.

Here is what I have in mine. These are the only lines I have to use the rvm-capistrano gem. I do the deploys as a non-sudo user too if that helps.

set :rvm_ruby_string, '<interpreter>@<gemset>'

# Load RVM's capistrano plugin.
require "rvm/capistrano"
set :rvm_path, "$HOME/.rvm"

Since you’re running bundle exec, make sure rvm and rvm-capistrano gems are in your Gemfile. Also change the rvm_ruby_string below as suits your needs.

I’m fairly sure you need to remove this line too

LOAD_PATH.unshift "lib", File.expand_path('./lib', ENV['rvm_path'])

I also noticed you are using the “root” user to do the deploy. Fairly sure that’s not going to work unless the rvm is installed for the root user. If you must use the root user I’d use an rvm wrapper if possible.

RVM Wrappers

Good luck!
