No such file or directory(public/assets/manifest*)

Question

During my rails(3.2.16v) deploy with capistrano v3 I am getting the following error.

$cap development deploy --trace

DEBUG [014a40e4] Running /usr/bin/env [ -L /home/ec2-user/capistrano-3/my_app/releases/20140117124107/public/assets ] on 50.13.220.55

This happens with sprockets 3.0.x and capistrano-rails, and seems fixed with capistrano-rails 1.1.3.

If your Gemfile has gem 'capistrano-rails', '~> 1.1' (as recommended in the installation guide), just type bundle update capistrano-rails to upgrade.

See https://github.com/capistrano/rails/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#113-apr-18-2015 or https://github.com/capistrano/rails/issues/111
