Capistrano

wip - aim here is to get 'something' up and running

TODO:

• harness rake for dsl

• create a working capify equivalent

  • create Capfile
  • create lib/tasks/deploy
  • create config/deploy/
  • write config/deploy.rb with example configuration

• basic configuration object

• basic 'capistrano/deploy' noop example

• don't care too much about testing at this point (rspec included for my reference)

• before/after task hooks

• handle multi stage

• pass any necessary configuration from deploy.rb to SSHKit

• is Capfile still legit? (although capfile/capfile.rb are already alternatives by default)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano' github: 'capistrano/capistrano', branch: :wip

And then execute:

$ bundle --binstubs

Capify:

$ cap install

This creates the following files:

• Capfile
• lib/deploy/tasks
• config/deploy/staging.rb
• config/deploy/production.rb

To create different stages:

$ cap install STAGES=local,sandbox,qa,production

Usage

$ cap -vT

$ cap staging deploy
$ cap production deploy

Tasks

Before / After

Where calling on the same task name, executed in order of inclusion

# call an existing task
before :starting, :ensure_user

after :finishing, :notify


# or define in block
before :starting, :ensure_user do
  #
end

after :finishing, :notify do
  #
end

Configuration
