Doesn't work with Capistrano 3.0.1

[SkyWriter]

Capistrano 3.0.1

Here's deploy.rb:

require "capistrano/rsync"

set :application, 'auth-backend'
set :repo_url, 'git@red:omg-auth-backend.git'
set :branch, 'master'

set :deploy_to, '/home/cpc-system/apps/auth-backend'
set :scm, :git

set :keep_releases, 5

namespace :deploy do
  desc 'Restart application'
  task :restart do
    on roles(:app), in: :sequence, wait: 5 do
      execute :touch, release_path.join('tmp/restart.txt')
    end
  end

  after :finishing, 'deploy:cleanup'
end

production.rb is the following:

set :stage, :production
server 'cpc-server', user: 'cpc-system', roles: %w{web app db}
set :rsync_options, %w[--recursive --delete --delete-excluded --exclude .git*]

On a cold deployment outputs the following:

$ be cap production deploy --trace

It seems like it's trying to do git stuff on a server, which it is not supposed to be doing.

@SkyWriter it could be due to the default options problem highlighted in #2

@moll Can you look at my pull request or at least @webflo's pull request soon to narrow down the scope of possible errors? The pull requests are not that complex to review and aim to solve basic problems that a new user will encounter when trying this gem. We can always refactor the code later after the basic needs are met. Right now without the patches to a new user this nice little gem seems unusable.

@seantan Thanks for you comment. I'll gladly try to apply your patch to Capistrano 3, see if it works and give some feedback.

[SkyWriter]

But my honest opinion is that there's been a few changes in Capistrano for the past 3 months, so this gem might as well just lag behind a little bit.

@SkyWriter Thanks for trying the PRs. Will appreciate your feedback. :)

[SkyWriter]

@seantan, nope, unfortunately it exercises exactly the same behavior after applying your patch.

[seantanly]

@SkyWriter try setting the following

set :scm, :rsync
set :rsync_scm, :git

[SkyWriter]

Tons of gratitude to you!

Now these were two secret ingredients:

1. Setting :scm to :rsync, and :rsync_scm to :git, necessity of which somehow fell out of my sight.
2. Appying pull request Add initial support for multiple SCM strategies (git, svn) #6.

That have made working almost out of the box.

It's only that I've had to create shared/deploy directory by hand on a cold deployment.

Glad to be of help :)

I agree pt. 1 should be stated in the README to make it obvious.

I didn't notice the need to manually create the rsync_cache though. Not sure whether it's a side effect of me using capistrano-bundler gem.

For me, doing

 bundle exec cap production deploy

created everything.
