remote test succeeds when it should not

[Christoph Hösler]

Hi all. I am experimenting with Capistrano for the first time.

While trying to do a website deployment with Mixd/wp-deploy, I couldn't make my symlinks get created using :linked_files.

After digging deep into the code I found out, that in the deploy:symlink:linked_files task the test for already existing links, which precedes their creation, returns true when it should not.

I wrote a simple test task to verify my finding. Can someone explain me the following behavior:

In deploy.rb:

namespace :my do

  task :test do

    on release_roles :all do

      if test "false"

        puts "false is true"

        puts capture("if false; then echo 'Indeed!'; else echo 'Not really!'; fi")

      end

    end

  end

end

Running 'bundle exec cap production my:test' prints:

false is true

Not really!

I get the same results if I replace test "false" with test "[ -f / ]", for example.

test() might not be working the way you think it is - https://github.com/capistrano/sshkit/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md#print-some-arbitrary-output-with-the-logging-methods
