Capistrano no such file to load -- deploy

Question

When I try to run any cap commands, I get a "no such file to load -- deploy" error.

Here is the output:

Here is the Gemfile:

   task :stop do ; end
   task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
     run "#{try_sudo} touch #{File.join(current_path,'tmp','restart.txt')}"
   end
  end

Capfile:

require 'deploy'
# Uncomment if you are using Rails' asset pipeline
# load 'deploy/assets'
Dir['vendor/gems/*/recipes/*.rb','vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }
load 'config/deploy' # remove this line to skip loading any of the default tasks

I'm guessing the "deploy" is the reference to require 'deploy' from the Capfile.

What did I mess up?

Thanks

Edit

Changing the first line of the Capfile to

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator

works. Any idea why the Capfile ships by default with this "broken" line in it? Do I need to do something different than capify .?

Answer 1

Downgrade your capistrano to the previous version 2.9.0.

The newest one (2.11.0) causes the problem you mentioned.

Answer 2

Try:

load 'deploy'

(Assuming you're using capistrano 2).

Our capfile looks like this:

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator

# Uncomment if you are using Rails' asset pipeline
# load 'deploy/assets'

Dir['vendor/gems/*/recipes/*.rb','vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }

load 'config/deploy' # remove this line to skip loading any of the default tasks

Answer 3

Here's my Capfile -- try it since you're on capistrano 2

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator

# Uncomment if you are using Rails' asset pipeline
# load 'deploy/assets'

Dir['vendor/gems/*/recipes/*.rb','vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }

load 'config/deploy' # remove this line to skip loading any of the default tasks
