Cap Deploy Failing on chmod releases

2013-05-22T16:54:24Z

I am attempting to deploy a RoR application from my computer to my remote
server with capistrano and rvm. I have set up the folder structure on the
server and also allowed write privileges on all of the folders,
I am using cap v2.15.4, ruby 1.9.3p392, and rvm 1.20.3.
When attempting to deploy the failure occurs when capistrano tryies to

A command line capistrano configurations manager

2013-05-21T19:15:19Z

After some time using capistrano with multiple projects we've come up with
a tool for
managing multiple projects and recipes via a separate repository. It's
basically a capistrano wrapper
that compiles capfiles.

What do you think about it? Have some suggestions?
Thanks!

asset precompile, not noticing when images change

2013-05-13T18:35:12Z

So I remember that special logic by @ndbroadbent for asset compilation,
that tried to only recompile assets when they really needed it, I think?

I forget if that ended up being Capistrano-specific, or built into
rails, or what?

In whatever version of that code I'm using, it does not seem to notice

slow `bundle:install` command during `deploy:finalize_update` task

2013-05-12T01:02:17Z

Hello,
I'm trying to improve the speed of my deploy script.
As it is now it works perfectly, but `bundle:install` is incredibly slow:
it takes between 2 and 4 minutes every time.
I noticed that Capistrano doesn't use the default directory for the user
who executes the rack app server: ~/.rvm/....
Rather, it installs the gems in the vendor folder of each release. for

Testing Capistrano with Rspec?

2013-04-05T15:19:16Z

I am fairly new to Capistrano. I was wondering if there are any resources /
tutorials on testing my Capistrano configuration with Rspec?
I have seen a few examples using capistrano-spec, however these seem to
always be related to testing recipes, whereas I have a very simple setup in
my deploy.rb at the moment.

Simple file copy issues

Ok, this seems like a rather silly question because of its simplicity, but
is there a prescribed methodology for having a given server copy a file to

upload(), etc. are used to manage Capistrano <=> server file transfers, but

This is probably not a Capistrano issue, but perhaps can be fixed via Cap. I currently have two branches; develop and master. I set the develop branch to deploy to the dev server and the master branch is set to deploy to staging and production. Not exactly sure when this started happening, but whenever I commit something to the develop branch and haven't merge to master branch yet, I get the following error when I try to deploy to the dev server:

Hi all,
When i run 'cap deploy' , capistrano checks out a new branch in the just

As i can see on my screen during deployment, Capistrano does this with the

as you can see, a new branch is created name '*deploy*'
