[Rails] Capistrano :update_code problem

Hi all,

I want to love capistrano and I''m so close.

My error is occuring while running the update_code task... (apologies
for the shell spew)

*************************************************************************
* executing "rm -rf
/home/henster29/sites/glitter/releases/20060316143447/log
/home/henster29/sites/glitter/releases/20060316143447/public/system
&&\n    ln -nfs /home/henster29/sites/glitter/shared/log
/home/henster29/sites/glitter/releases/20060316143447/log &&\n    ln
-nfs /home/henster29/sites/glitter/shared/system
/home/henster29/sites/glitter/releases/20060316143447/public/system"
    servers: ["aidlife.textdriven.com"]
    [aidlife.textdriven.com] executing command
 ** [out :: aidlife.textdriven.com] ln:
/home/henster29/sites/glitter/releases/20060316143447/public/system:
No such file or directory
    command finished
*************************************************************************

Ah, so its trying to make a symbolic link to a dir that doesnt exist...
I checked the gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb
which seems to be the source and found this..

*************************************************************************
task :update_code, :roles => [:app, :db, :web] do
  on_rollback { delete release_path, :recursive => true }

  source.checkout(self)

  run <<-CMD
    rm -rf #{release_path}/log #{release_path}/public/system &&
    ln -nfs #{shared_path}/log #{release_path}/log &&
    ln -nfs #{shared_path}/system #{release_path}/public/system
  CMD
end
**************************************************************************

Which looks like (to me) that it blows away
#{release_path}/public/system and then tries to make a link in there.

I must be talking crap since this works for everyone else... Any ideas?

Thanks

[Rails] Capistrano :update_code problem

Henry,

Did you set up your machines using the ''setup'' task, or did
you build
the directories manually?

The directory structure ought to look like this:

   /deploy_to
   /deploy_to/releases
   /deploy_to/releases/...
   /deploy_to/shared
   /deploy_to/shared/log
   /deploy_to/shared/system
   /deploy_to/current -> /deploy_to/releases/...

Shell spew is helpful. Give us more!

If you want to trouble shoot this, change the rm -rf to rm -r. Then if 
the #{release_path}/log or #{release_path}/public/system do not exist, 
you will get an error. The -f option causes rm not to complain about 
directories that don''t exist, in addition to forcing removal of files 
that have restrictive permissions.

As Jamis points out in a parallel response, if you run the setup tasks 
these directories should have been created, but is possible that they 
don''t.

[Rails] Re: Capistrano :update_code problem

Thanks for the help guys, you led me down the right track.

I was trying to deploy a single file,"test.txt", to see if I could get
it to work... rather than a whole rails app.
/deploy_to/releases/public isnt made in setup but rather checked out
from your repos. So public wasnt there.. Oops.

It might be nice to have /deploy_to/releases/public created during
setup... but I may be in the minority using full blown capistrano to
upload a text file ;)
