Question

I am trying to run cap depoly and i get the following error that says

  command finished in 881ms
  * 2013-01-24 12:50:53 executing `whenever:update_crontab'
  * executing "cd /home/deployer/apps/cf/releases/20130124115051 && bundle exec whenever --update-crontab cf --set environment=production --roles db"

I later realized that bundler is not running before whenever command and this happened after upgrading my rails app to the latest version of rails. 3.2.11. any help thanks.

set :whenever_command, "bundle exec whenever"
require "bundler/capistrano"
require "whenever/capistrano"

server "208.68.37.172", :web, :app, :db, primary: true

set :application, "xx"
set :user, "deployer"
set :deploy_to, "/home/#{user}/apps/#{application}"
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache
set :use_sudo, false

set :scm, "git"
set :repository, "[e-mail]:ramza1/#{application}.git"
set :branch, "master"

default_run_options[:pty] = true
ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

after "deploy", "deploy:cleanup" # keep only the last 5 releases

namespace :deploy do
  %w[start stop restart].each do |command|
    desc "#{command} unicorn server"
    task command, roles: :app, except: {no_release: true} do
      run "/etc/init.d/unicorn_#{application} #{command}"
    end
  end

  task :setup_config, roles: :app do
    sudo "ln -nfs #{current_path}/config/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/#{application}"
    sudo "ln -nfs #{current_path}/config/unicorn_init.sh /etc/init.d/unicorn_#{application}"
    run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/config"
    put File.read("config/database.example.yml"), "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
    puts "Now edit the config files in #{shared_path}."
  end
  after "deploy:setup", "deploy:setup_config"

  task :symlink_config, roles: :app do
    run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
  end
  after "deploy:finalize_update", "deploy:symlink_config"


  after "deploy:update_code" do
    run "mkdir -p #{release_path}/ckeditor_assets"
    run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/ckeditor_assets #{release_path}/public/ckeditor_assets"
  end

  desc "Make sure local git is in sync with remote."
  task :check_revision, roles: :web do
    unless `git rev-parse HEAD` == `git rev-parse origin/master`
      puts "WARNING: HEAD is not the same as origin/master"
      puts "Run `git push` to sync changes."
      exit
    end
  end
  before "deploy", "deploy:check_revision"
end 

Answer 1

I think that your problems are both:

The first, On your deploy.rb recipe add on the top of this file the next:

require "bundler/capistrano"
require "whenever/capistrano"

The second I think that you must install from your gem file:

gem 'acts-as-taggable-on'

The third problem is whenever version, on version whenever 0.8.2 fail with deploy. Uninstall version 0.8.2 and install for example whenever (0.7.3)

Uninstall acts-as-taggable-on-2.3.3 and check if without that gem the deploy is working.

Also I use rbenv and I have this in my bash_profile before any other $PATH declarations to make sure it grabs those executables first:

export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"

Remove from the top the set :whenever_command, "bundle exec whenever" and add this code after set :branch, "master"

Try these steps to see if it works
