In Capistrano 2, directories in shared_children used to be
symlinked to the shared directory during the finalize_update task
Show archive.org snapshot
.
# <capistrano>/lib/capistrano/recipes/deploy.rb
_cset :shared_children, %w(public/system log tmp/pids)
# ...
task :finalize_update, :except => { :no_release => true } do
# ...
shared_children.map do |d|
run "ln -s #{shared_path}/#{d.split('/').last} #{latest_release}/#{d}" # <-- symlinks only the last segment here
end
# ...
end
This would symlink current/public/system to shared/system.
Capistrano 3 (which is almost a complete rewrite of the project) now
properly expands paths to symlink
Show archive.org snapshot
. current/public/system is now symlinked to shared/public/system.
# <your project>/config/deploy.rb
set :linked_dirs, %w(log public/system)
# <capistrano>/lib/capistrano/tasks/deploy.rake
desc 'Symlink linked directories'
task :linked_dirs do
# ...
fetch(:linked_dirs).each do |dir|
target = release_path.join(dir) # <-- symlinks the whole path
source = shared_path.join(dir)
# ...
execute :ln, '-s', source, target
end
end
This may bite you when you were backing up the shared/system directory. After upgrading to Capistrano 3, you will need to back up the shared/public/system directory instead. For our own projects we already do so.
