Deployer - Fatal error: Call to undefined function server()

Question

Deployer version 4.1.0

When running dep deploy test the following error is reported:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function server()

server ftn is defined as follows in config file:

// Configure servers
server('test', 'test.server.com')
    ->user('user')
    ->identityFile('~/.ssh/id.pub', '~/.ssh/user', 'password')
    ->stage("test")
    ->env('deploy_path', '/var/www/project.com');  

This is pretty much the standard as per the Deployer site. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so how did you resolve it?

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Fixed issue by running the following cmd (Suggested in comments above by Ken)

dep init

Compared the auto-generated deploy.php file to the original. Noted that the following was omitted:

namespace Deployer;

Also noted that ->env has been replaced with ->set

Answer 2

I had the same problem using deployer on a Laravel 5.4 project:

I had installed deployer using composer, when removed it and worked with deployer.pharfile , everything worked fine.
