Rails - Mar 2006 - Capistrano: env not setup properly over ssh

Hi,
If I make a Capistrano task like

task :test, :roles => :app do
  run "env"
end

It prints something completely different than if I just do

ssh login@host env

I need all my login scripts to run so all my environment vars (including 
PATH) are set.  All my Capistrano tasks are failing because the paths 
are setup properly.

Thanks for the help.

If I do

   ssh login@host env

I get a very different env than if I log into that box and run env  
from the cli. I''m not sure why you''d be getting the full
environment
in the former case.

Capistrano basically executes each command in a very basic shell, not  
a login shell, which means your PATH and so forth won''t be set. If  
you need each command to execute within a fully initialized login  
environment, you can try doing something like:

   task :test do
     run "bash -l -c env"
   end
