Question

I am getting an error while deploying code for the first time. I used the same script so many times, and it worked successfully.

Error I am getting while deployment:

 [out :: ***********] sh: rake: not found

I am using RVM, Ruby 1.9.2

Deploy script output:

  executing `deploy:after_symlink'
  * executing "cp /home/me/my_app/shared/database.yml /home/me/my_app/current/config/database.yml"
    servers: ["**************"]
    ["**************"] executing command
    command finished in 1204ms
  * executing `deploy:migrate'
  * executing "cd /home/me/my_app/current && rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production"
    servers: ["**************"]
   ["**************"] executing command
 ** [out :: ***********] sh: rake: not found  // Here is the issue
    command finished in 1023ms
*** [deploy:symlink] rolling back
  * executing "ls -x /home/me/my_app/releases"

Script i am using to deploy:

set :stages, %w(production staging)
require 'capistrano/ext/multistage'

server "Server IP", :app, :web, :db, :primary => true

set(:application) { "app_name" }
set (:deploy_to) { "/home/binarymesh/#{application}" }
set :user, 'my_user'
set :keep_releases, 3
set :repository, "[e-mail]:MyRepo"
set :use_sudo, false
set :scm, :git
default_run_options[:pty] = true
ssh_options[:forward_agent] = false
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache
set :git_shallow_clone, 1
set :git_enable_submodules, 1

namespace :deploy do
 desc "Restarting mod_rails with restart.txt"
 task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
   run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
 end

 [:start, :stop].each do |t|
   desc "#{t} task is a no-op with mod_rails"
   task t, :roles => :app do ; end
 end

 desc "invoke the db migration"
 task:migrate, :roles => :app do
   send(run_method, "cd #{current_path} && rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=#{stage} ")
 end


 desc "Deploy with migrations"
  task :long do
    transaction do
      update_code
      web.disable
      symlink
      migrate
    end

    restart
    web.enable
    cleanup
  end

 task :after_symlink, :roles => :app do
   run "cp #{shared_path}/database.yml #{current_path}/config/database.yml"
 end

  desc "Run cleanup after long_deploy"
  task :after_deploy do
    cleanup
  end

end

Adding this

$:.unshift(File.expand_path('./lib', ENV['rvm_path']))
require 'capistrano/ext/multistage'
require "rvm/capistrano"

on top my deploy.rb file solved my problem.
