Capistrano: How to set global environment variable?

Question

I need to find a way to set global env variable from Capistrano. Actual value is generated on in runtime, I can not check it in the repo and load from there.

This value must be loaded as ENV['RAILS_ASSET_ID'] in one initializer.

How can I do so?

Answer 1

Can't you use the default_environment capistrano variable ? cf github/capistrano

For instance, we can use it for rbenv in production :

set :default_environment, {
'PATH' => "$HOME/.rbenv/shims:$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
}
