Capistrano 3.x; Having trouble using public-key authentication...

[Mel Riffe]

First, I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. I'm having difficulty forming the question so, of course, my search results are varied and, generally, not useful. In fact I'm pretty sure my Topic title is a bit misleading. :(

Currently, for a client's project, we're using Cap 2.x. This is a project I inherited and, as such, I can only speak to what I'm currently seeing. However, the current deployment does not specify any user information and relies on each developer being in my clients' 'deployers' group and setting up SSH keys.

My client has started a new Rails 4.x project and I thought, 'this would be a good time to upgrade to Cap 3 and clean up the deployments'

So, following along the Cold Start page (http://capistranorb.com/documentation/getting-started/cold-start/), I wrote the 'check_write_permissions' task. I had defined my roles to use only the server name. I was not expecting to be asked for a password, yet I was.

Did I miss something?

Thanks for any help provided!

It may well be your ssh key's passphrase, it's impossible to say without more info.

I'm not sure I take your meaning, Lee. How would my passphrase force me to enter a password when I thought the use of SSH keys alleviated the need for passwords.

As for more information: Sure - I'm just not sure which information is needed. What should I be providing?

SSH keys cab have passphrases, but I guess that's not the case here, since you didn't even know that it was. Can you share full logs?
