Capistrano run local command exit on failure

Question

I would like to run local commands and exit on failure of any command. whats the best way to do this with capistrano? run_locally will continue going on failure.

Do i have to check the last commands exist status everytime (or create a custom run locally function)?

Answer 1

I had to create my own function like this:

task :build_backend do
  run_local("echo hello")
  run_local("abcdef")
  run_local("echo 'not run'")
end

def run_local(cmd)
  system cmd
  if($?.exitstatus != 0) then
    puts 'exit code: ' + $?.exitstatus.to_s
    exit
  end
end

Using this
