Is it possible to access the username running the 'cap deploy' task to use it from a cap task in the Capfile?

[Simón Muñoz]

Hi all,

Do you know if it's possible to access the username running the 'cap deploy' task to use it from a cap task in the Capfile?

For example, we need to mark a deploy in newrelic after doing a deploy, so I added a task "mark_deploy" in the capfile that does the work. The problem is that it will be nice to register the user running the 'cap deploy', but for that I need to know the username at the time the "mark" task is invoked.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help,

I finally discovered that there is a Capistrano global variable just for this:

#{local_user}

Cheers, Simon!

if it's informational just use the ruby environment accessor. If you need to trust it more you should use Lee's method. 

puts "Running user: #{ENV['USER']}"
