Capistrano & Bash: ignore command exit status

Question

I'm using Capistrano run a remote task. My task looks like this:

task :my_task do
  run "my_command"
end

My problem is that if my_command has an exit status != 0, then Capistrano considers it failed and exits. How can I make capistrano keep going when exit when the exit status is not 0? I've changed my_command to my_command;echo and it works but it feels like a hack.

Answer 1

The simplest way is to just append true to the end of your command.

  task :my_task do     run "my_command"   end 

Becomes

  task :my_task do     run "my_command; true"   end 

Answer 2

For Capistrano 3, you can (as suggested here) use the following:

execute "some_command.sh", raise_on_non_zero_exit: false
