Capistrano deploy error: Stage not set

Question

I followed this tutorial to set up rvm, ruby, rails, nginx and passenger. I then installed capistrano and node.js. Now, everything works fine up to the point where I try to deploy *test_app.*

cap deploy:setup

creates the following error:

[deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future. If you really want to skip validation of your locale you can set I18n.enforce_available_locales = false to avoid this message.
Stage not set, please call something such as `cap production deploy`, where production is a stage you have defined.

now

cap production deploy

creates this error:

cap aborted!
RVM - Capistrano integration was extracted to a separate gem, install: `gem install rvm-capistrano` and remove the `$LOAD_PATH.unshift` line, note also the 'set :rvm_type, :user' is now the default (instead of :system).

So I did what was suggested, installed rvm-capistrano and removed *$:.unshift(File.expand_path('./lib', ENV['rvm_path']))*, which created the following error:

cap production deploy
cap aborted!

Any ideas?

Answer 1

right now there are two gems that work with capistrano3 / rvm1:

• https://github.com/capistrano/rvm
• https://github.com/rvm/rvm1-capistrano3 (I'm author of this one)

I have already discussed merging both gems (use rvm1-capistrano3 in capistrano/rvm).

You can also open a ticket for rvm to point out to the new gems => https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues
