Rails - May 2006 - Capistrano only runs migration against production env?

All,

Just read in the Capistrano manual about the Capistrano "migrate"
task.
There it says that:

"By default, all this task does is change to the directory of your 
current release (as indicated by the current symlink), and run rake 
RAILS_ENV=production migrate. You can specify that it should run against 
the latest release (regardless of what the current release is) by 
setting the migrate_target variable to :latest before invoking this 
task. Likewise, if you want to specify additional environment variables 
(beside RAILS_ENV) you can set the migrate_env variable to the 
space-delimited list of name=value pairs to use."

Can anyone verify the truth of this statement.

Currently I use Capistrano to deploy to a test environment, so I''d like
to be able to run my migrations against test.

Can you modify the RAILS_ENV that Capistrano is using to do the 
migration or not?

I think I will just add the "rake migrate RAILS_ENV=test" command as a
command line to run within my deploy script.  That should work, no?

Thanks,
Wes

OK, I attempted to add a "rake migrate RAILS_ENV=test" command into my
Capistrano deploy as a regular command line, like so:

run "cd #{current_path}; chmod 777 public; rake migrate RAILS_ENV=test; 
rake appdoc"

(yes I know the chmod 777 public is scary)

But when I run it appears that when that command gets run I get:

 ** [out :: 192.168.1.102] WARNING: STMT 0x8b31910 was not dropped 
before garbage collection.

Anyone ever seen that?

Wes

Doh!  My migration wasn''t checked in so it didn''t exist when I
ran "rake
migrate"

Looks like it runs correctly, but then I get several of those STMT blah 
was not dropped before garbage collection.

I''m guessing that the database resources on the Ruby invocation of 
capistrano aren''t getting freed correctly or something.
