Question

I really desperately need help with this issue and am more than a little lost.

I am trying to deploy a new production server using Capistrano Ext to allow for a staging and production server but it fails to run the bundle install –deployment successfully.

The cap staging deploy works fine to an existing Ubuntu system but the new server is a constant fail as follows

my-app$ sh -c 'cd /var/www/html/rails/myapp/releases/20120519174459&& export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin && bundle install --deployment'

  An error occured while installing rake (0.9.2.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
  Make sure that `gem install rake -v '0.9.2.2'` succeeds before bundling.

In any other directory the ruby -v and rails -v produce the expected results

my-home$ ruby -v

The rvm system wide on the server seems to be correct

my-home$ rvm list

  rvm rubies

  =* ruby-1.9.3-p194 [ x86_64 ]

  # => - current
  # =* - current && default
  #  * - default

 my-home$ rvm info

  RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.
  You need to change your terminal settings to allow shell login.
  Please visit https://rvm.io/workflow/screen/ for example.

But there is an epic fail in the application directory as there is nothing in ./vendor/bundle

The system is Ubuntu 11.04 and ruby is installed using rvm system-wide with 1.93 as the default

The deploy.rb is as follows:

# This has been added due to multi deployment staging
set :stages, %w(staging production)
set :default_stage, "staging"

require 'capistrano/ext/multistage'

default_run_options[:pty] = true 

set :user, 'appuser'
set :application, "app"
set :keep_releases, 10

set :deploy_to, "/var/www/html/rails/#{application}"
set :repository,  "appuser@gitserver:/myapps/rails/#{application}.git"
set :deploy_via, :copy
set :ssh_options, {:forward_agent => true}
set :scm, :git 
set :branch, 'master'
set :scm_verbose, true
set :use_sudo, false

# This has been added due to multi deployment staging
# since :domain is defined in another file (staging.rb and production.rb),
# we need to delay its assignment until they're loaded
set(:domain) { "#{domain}" }
role(:web) { domain }
role(:app) { domain }
role(:db, :primary => true) { domain }

# If you are using Passenger mod_rails uncomment this:
namespace :deploy do
  desc "cause Passenger to initiate a restart"
  task :restart do
    run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
  end
  desc "reload the database with seed data"
  task :seed do
    run "cd #{current_path}; rake db:seed RAILS_ENV=production"
  end
end

before "deploy:assets:precompile", :bundle_install

after "deploy:update_code", :bundle_install
desc "install the necessary prerequisites"
task :bundle_install, :roles => :app do
  run "cd #{release_path}&& export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin && bundle install --deployment"
  run "cp -Rf #{shared_path}/config/* #{release_path}/config/"
end

The other two staging and production files are ….

deploy/staging.rb

set :domain, "staging.myapp.com"
set :rails_env, "staging"
set :default_environment, {  
   'PATH' => "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/opt/local/bin"  
}

deploy/production.rb

set :domain, "production.myapp.com"
set :rails_env, "production"
set :default_environment, {  
  'PATH' => "/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/mysql/bin"  
 }

So the fail is trying to bundle install –deployment in a newly delivered application directory. If bundle install –nodeployment is run it works fine!

What have I done wrong or not configured. I’ve spent 2 days trying to sort this out but it doen’t seem to make any sense why thios won’t work

Answer 1

you had to miss the rvm instructions for capistrano: https://rvm.io/integration/capistrano/

just read them, I will advise you to use the gem version which basically will allow you to select proper ruby:

Installation:

gem install rvm-capistrano

Or add to Gemfile:

gem 'rvm-capistrano'

Example Capfile deploy.rb :

set :rvm_type, :system    # :user is the default
set :rvm_ruby_string, ENV['GEM_HOME'].gsub(/.*\//,"") # Read from local system

require "rvm/capistrano"  # Load RVM's capistrano plugin.

But better go check the docs, as more options are available: https://rvm.io/integration/capistrano/
