Capistrano bundler:install fails

Question

I'm trying to deploy my rails app into an EC2 instance using Capistrano 3.0. I'm now stack with the following output which appears when running "cap production deploy" or "cap production bundler:install".

Tasks: TOP => bundler:install

When ssh-ing into the server and running the same command ("cd /var/www/app/current && /usr/bin/env bundle --gemfile /var/www/app/current/Gemfile --path /var/www/app/shared/bundle --deployment --verbose --binstubs /var/www/app/shared/bin --without development test") all seems to be ok...

Getting quite desperate about this... Thanks!

Answer 1

The lines

DEBUG [f15c9f08] Command: cd /var/www/app/current && /usr/bin/env bundle --gemfile /var/www/app/current/Gemfile --path /var/www/app/shared/bundle --deployment --verbose --binstubs /var/www/app/shared/bin --without development test
DEBUG [f15c9f08]    /usr/bin/env: 
DEBUG [f15c9f08]    bundle
DEBUG [f15c9f08]    : No such file or directory
DEBUG [f15c9f08]    

Indicate that bundler isn't found, or isn't installed. Capistrano (as documented here http://www.capistranorb.com/documentation/faq/why-does-something-work-in-my-ssh-session-but-not-in-capistrano/) runs in a non-login, non-interactive shell.

I would guess that bundler is installed in a special path, or that you are using rvm, chruby, or rbenv. And that these things aren't being initialized as they are when you SSH into the box, because of the non-login, non-interactive session that Capistrano is using.

The solution is to use either the capistrano-{rvm,chruby,rbenv} gem which suits your envrironment as documented in the Capfile.

If you are not using one of those version managers, try this:

ssh me@theserver 'which bundler'

Probably you will see no output (more on why at the link above), solve that, and Capistrano will work.

Answer 2

The issue was indeed with the non-interactive shell.

Eventually I had to add the following line to .bashrc:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

In case others get into similar issues, I will add that I also had to map the rake command so it would work properly. Had to add the following line to my deploy.rb file:

SSHKit.config.command_map[:rake] = "bundle exec rake"

Answer 3

You'd better use capistrano-rbenv gem to manage your ror env

1. add gem 'capistrano-rbenv', '~> 2.0' to your gemfile
2. uncomment require 'capistrano/rbenv' in your capfile; if capistrano/bundler commented, uncomment it also
3. set the rbenv_ruby variable set :rbenv_ruby, '2.0.0-p247' in your deploy file

then all set!

Answer 4

I'm bit late to answer the question, but it might help some user like me.

If you're using rbenv then set the default environment of your rbenv by adding below line in deploy.rb

set :default_env, { path: "~/.rbenv/shims:~/.rbenv/bin:$PATH" }

Answer 5

The bundle executable is missing from system or its PATH is not known to the shell.

Check below test:

system can find perl executable:

# /usr/bin/env perl
^C   << I did CTRL+C as perl was expecitng me to put some code

now, my system can't find perlyo executable and throws the error:

# /usr/bin/env perlyo
/usr/bin/env: perlyo: No such file or directory

Above error is similar to what you get for /usr/bin/env bundle which is:

DEBUG [f15c9f08]    /usr/bin/env: 
DEBUG [f15c9f08]    bundle
DEBUG [f15c9f08]    : No such file or directory 

check whether system knows about bundle by running below command:

# which bundle
# whereis bundle

If it can't find with above commands, then check whether bundle at all exists on system as below:

# updatedb
# locate bundle

If you find the bundle, then add its path accordingly so that your shell can recognize it.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

I was able to solve the issue by adding the following code to ~/.bashrc:

export RBENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.rbenv"

if [ -d "${RBENV_ROOT}" ]; then
  export PATH="${RBENV_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}"
  eval "$(rbenv init -)"
fi

Answer 7

As @zpieslak said:

add this in ~/.bashrc:

if [ -d "${RBENV_ROOT}" ]; then
  export PATH="${RBENV_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}"
  eval "$(rbenv init -)"
fi

Before this line:

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
case $- in
    *i*) ;;
      *) return;;
