Customizing Output...

[jondavidjohn]

Is it possible to customize (or disable) the Capistrano output?

It seems way too robust in terms of the information it is trying to
communicate... Seems like it would be helpful to be able to have an
option to turn it off, and allow you to write your own on completion
of a task based on success/failure, etc...

I really only care about seeing the full command it is running maybe
the first few times I deploy, and then only if it fails.

[jondavidjohn]

figured out how to do this in case anyone else is interested...

alias cap='cap -q'

Then just echo out what you want with the given 'after' and 'before'

before 'deploy:task' do
print "Some Task........."
end

after 'deploy:task
put "Done"
end

etc...

Ok, This solution worked well, but is it possible to tell cap to run
quietly (-q) from the deploy.rb file???

Hi jon,

  I think you can do it adding this line(not tested):

default_run_options[:verbose] = 0

Tell me if it works, regards

Good thought... after looking through the Capistrano source it looks like '[:verbose]' is the option that controls it from the shell option '-q'

But setting it with `default_run_options` is not working as I would also expect it to.

Thanks.

I found it! In Configuration class logger has an accessor, then you can access to logger from your deploy.rb file directly.

Just add to your deploy.rb:

logger.level = 0

Or maybe you prefer(it's the same):

logger.level = Logger::IMPORTANT      # or Capistrano::Logger::IMPORTANT

You can find Logger class under Capistrano module, but you don't need to specify it because you're under Capistrano namespace. 

Good night

That did it, thank you so much!

I think I'm going to be blogging soon about my experience customizing the output and I'll post it here.

In case anyone cares, I outline my steps to customize deployment output here...
