Question

I have my own gem that streamlines deployment for me, as the servers have the some configuration.

The structure is as following:

- .
- ..
- lib
  - capistrano
    - foo
      - common.rb
    - foo.rb

foo.rb:

require "capistrano"
require "capistrano/ext/multistage"
require "capistrano/foo/common"

common.rb:

def _cset(name, *args, &block)
  unless exists?(name)
    set(name, *args, &block)
  end
end

def _baz(param)
end

I can’t seem to call _baz in my deploy files, while I am able to call _cset just fine. How can I make _baz callable in my deploy files?

Exception:

capistrano-2.12.0/lib/capistrano/configuration/variables.rb:122:in `method_missing_with_variables’: undefined method `_symlink’ for # (NoMethodError)

Answer 1

This was a require problem, capistrano/foo wasn’t properly required in the project itself and I don’t require capistrano/foo/common explicitly in my base recipes.
