Question

How do I invoke one Capistrano task from another?

For example:

task :foo do   # stuff end  task :bar do   # INVOKE :foo end 

Answer 1

For the record: in the Capistrano 3, use invoke(), e.g.

desc "Task that does something" task :do_something do   invoke 'namespace:task' end

Answer 2

You can do it by using namespace:

namespace :test do   task :one do   end   task :two do     test.one     #or just directly call it:     one   end end 

Just be careful with the name you use to not overwrite some important function.
