Rails - May 2006 - Capistrano to deploy to Mac OS X?

We''re moving some "internal use" apps to a spare internal
machine - instead
of a public, shared host. I''m not sure if it''s relevant, but
the new machine
is running OS 10.3.

I''m having a strange problem using Capistrano. It happens on both our
development machines, and only when deploying to this server.

I run ''cap deploy'' and get:

in `process!'': command "if [[ ! -d
/Users/www/myappnamehere/releases/20060516200956 ]]; then
    svn co --username josh -q -r741
http://mysvn/myappnamehere/trunk/Users/www/myappnamehere/releases/20060516200956
&& (test -e
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log || touch
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log && chmod 666
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log) && echo `date +\"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S\"` $USER 741 20060516200956 >>
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log;
fi" failed

If I paste this command into terminal on the new server, I get:

date: illegal format

Eye-balling it, it looks like this might be backslashes on the ""s, so
I
strip those, and try again... and it works. So, I can manually check-out my
project, using the same commands as Capistrano would use, but I can''t
use
Capistrano.

I suppose it shows how dependent on Capistrano I''ve become, that this
annoys
me so.

I''ve been staring at this all day, so I''m probably going
cross-eyed, but I
can''t see what would be causing this to happen?

Looks like Mac OS X''s date command isn''t compatible with that
syntax:
> ~: date +\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\"
> date: illegal time format
> usage: date [-nu] [-r seconds] [+format]
>        date [[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]hh]mm[.ss]
I''d grab the gnu source, build and install it into /usr/local/bin,
and make sure your deployment user environment had /usr/local/bin
first in PATH.

Wow... Okay, easier said than done, but I''ll keep digging...

Are the slash-quotes part of the command, or are they being escaped in the
error output? Because when I take the slashes out, it works. Which makes me
suspicious, is all I''m saying.

Is anybody else using Cap to deploy to OS X having this problem?

So, continuing with this...

The command in question comes from:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0
/lib/capistrano/scm/base.rb

def logging_commands(directory = nil)
  log = "#{configuration.deploy_to}/revisions.log"

  "(test -e #{log} || touch #{log} && chmod 666 #{log}) &&
" +
  "echo `date +\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\"` $USER
#{configuration.revision}
#{directory} >> #{log};"
end

So, stuck on this idea that the \" are the problem, I took them out:

def logging_commands(directory = nil)
  log = "#{configuration.deploy_to}/revisions.log"

  "(test -e #{log} || touch #{log} && chmod 666 #{log}) &&
" +
  ''echo `date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`'' + " $USER
#{configuration.revision}
#{directory} >> #{log};"
end


Yet, when I run "cap deploy" in Terminal, I get:

in `process!'': command "if [[ ! -d
/Users/www/myappnamehere/releases/20060517142841 ]]; then\\\n
svn co --username josh -q -r741
http://mysvnserver/myappnamehere/Users/www/myappnamehere/releases/20060517142841
&&\\\n              (test
-e /Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log || touch
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log && chmod 666
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log) && echo `date +\"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S\"` $USER 741 20060517142841 >>
/Users/www/myappnamehere/revisions.log;\\\n            fi" failed on
myserver (RuntimeError)


That is, the \" are back! So, the logging_commands seem to get escaped
somewhere - it''s not clear to me whether they get escaped in the error
logger, or in the command processor...

Oh: And I can run
echo `date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` test1 test2 test3 >> test.log;

on the server without problems.

What am I missing?

What happens if you remove the slashes the alternate way? i.e.:

"echo `date +''%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S''`"
