Question

When I try to run any cap commands, I get a "no such file to load — deploy" error.

Here is the output:

Here is the Gemfile:

end

gem 'jquery-rails'

set :deploy_to, applicationdir
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache

# if you're still using the script/reaper helper you will need

# If you are using Passenger mod_rails uncomment this:
 namespace :deploy do
   task :start do ; end
   task :stop do ; end
   task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
     run "#{try_sudo} touch #{File.join(current_path,'tmp','restart.txt')}"
   end
  end

Capfile:

require 'deploy'
# Uncomment if you are using Rails' asset pipeline
# load 'deploy/assets'
Dir['vendor/gems/*/recipes/*.rb','vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }
load 'config/deploy' # remove this line to skip loading any of the default tasks

I’m guessing the "deploy" is the reference to require 'deploy' from the Capfile.

What did I mess up?

Thanks

Edit

Changing the first line of the Capfile to

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator

works. Any idea why the Capfile ships by default with this "broken" line in it? Do I need to do something different than capify .?

Answer 1

Try:

load 'deploy'

(Assuming you’re using capistrano 2).

Our capfile looks like this:

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator

# Uncomment if you are using Rails' asset pipeline
# load 'deploy/assets'

Dir['vendor/gems/*/recipes/*.rb','vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }

load 'config/deploy' # remove this line to skip loading any of the default tasks
