Filter based on namespace

[Christopher J. Bottaro]

The deploy task doesn't appear to do any filtering, so when I deploy, Capistrano tries to deploy application code to my load balancers.

I tried doing something like this:

before "deploy", "do_filter" do

  set :filter, role: %w[app work]

end

But it still deploys code to my servers tagged with the "web" role.

I know that I can do this:

ROLES=app,work cap production deploy

But that is a pain.

It seems very reasonable to put in the configuration the idea of "all tasks within the deploy namespace should affect servers with [these] roles".  In fact, most Capistrano plugins do something like this; they give you a variable to set which restricts tasks to a certain role or roles.

Why doesn't the out of the box "deploy" namespace do something like this?

Thanks,

Hi Christopher,

As is clearly documented the filter has to be set before the tasks is loaded - http://capistranorb.com/documentation/advanced-features/host-filtering/#in-configuration there you will see other methods for achieving the same.

If you commonly do something like this, I suggest adding a Rakefile with some common shortcuts.
