Whenever changing the cron in staging environments.

[Tim Uckun]

Is there a way to prevent whenever from altering cron unless the
environment is production? Every time I push it to staging it changes
the cron task.

Thanks.

I would like to know this as well. For example we don't want the cron to update on our staging box AT ALL, and we do want it to correctly deploy on production. Any assistance with how to do a conditional deploy or no-deploy based on stage given in the cap file would be great.

If you're using Cap multistage, you could just require whenever/capistrano in your deploy/production.rb file and leave it out of your other environments.

In my case I only needed my jobs to run in one env so I took this
approach. This solution would not work for somebody who wants to run
different jobs in different environments though.

Exactly tim, like me

I need to run all tasks in both environments, except for a couple which run in only production. Would be nice if whenever supported rails/capistrano style env files ("whenever/staging.rb") or the roles like filtering (environment:  [:production] )

Wonder if I can simulate the former with some require.. let me try.

[karthik...@gmail.com]

Its not pretty but i got it working finally..
Require/require relative/load was failing on me, probably cuz eval was being used..

So I copied a line from the source, placed the below line in my schedule.rb
instance_eval(File.read("./config/whenever/#{environment}.rb"), options[:file] || '<eval>')

and made a folder structure like this

config
    schedule.rb
    whenever
        production.rb
        staging.rb

(This is for rails, but should be possible to repurpose for other situations.)

Nice idea.

Does this work for capistrano 3? because i can't figure out how to set the multistage for cap 3?

I havent really used Capistrano 3 before (using 2.x now), but it should work with minor modification i guess..
