fatal: could not read Password for 'http://username@github.com': No such device or address

[Dean Richardson]

Hi:

I'm running ruby 1.9.3p392 [i386-mingw32] on windows 7; I'm also running Capistrano v2.15.5.

I've had success deploying an earlier rails app to my production (Ubuntu 12.04) server using cap deploy for many months now.

But my attempt to deploy a new rails app to the same server using cap deploy has raised a number of errors. They all seem to arise when capistrano tries to access my git repository from the production server.

Deploy.rb: http://pastie.org/8200290

Capfile: http://pastie.org/8200301

Here's what I'm getting in response to "cap deploy" at the git bash command line on my Windows development machine:

I'm trying to figure out what the "could not read Password for [github address]: No such device or address" error message is telling me and why my deploy doesn't complete successfully as a result. My deploy.rb contains my correct github password, and capistrano prompts me for that password at several locations, and I'm entering that password correctly. I did fiddle with my ssh keys recently in attempting to deploy my new app to heroku, so that's probably where things are going wrong. Any suggestions on how to debug this process?

I'm particularly interested in understanding what exactly capistrano is trying to do at each step so I can attempt to reproduce the process step by step.

Thanks very much,

Dean Richardson

Could it be that you need to setup the SSH keys? 

I think this might be required for private repositories on GitHub, as a username and password prompt appears on the remote server and Capistrano doesn't appear to handle it correctly.
