Capistrano throws /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file

Question

I set up Capistrano to make the deploy of my app. I made it in steps, so first I set up the code deployment, so I commented all the roles but :app.

I'm using rvm and I had some problems with it. The biggest problem was an error that said /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory. I solved them using the gem capistrano/rvm and requiring it in the Capfile and adding the following line to the deploy.rb file:

set :default_env, { path: "/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/bin:$PATH" }

Once the code deploying runned correctly I activated de :db role in order to perform migrations. I get the same error but I can't find the solution this time.

~$ cap production deploy:migrate
    …
    …
 INFO [85d6241d] Running bundle exec rake db:migrate on 10.10.51.10
 DEBUG [85d6241d] Command: cd [PROJECT_SRC]/current 
                  && ( PATH=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/bin:$PATH RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate )
 DEBUG [85d6241d]            /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
 cap aborted!

This command runs correctly when I execute it directly in the shell.

Thank you in advance!

If you are not using rvm, then the issue is usually you'll have to manually install bundler gem on the server.

gem install bundler

Answer 2

Have you tried offical capistrano gems? That helped me, maybe your use case is similiar.

Gemfile:

...
gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.2.0'
gem 'capistrano-rvm'
gem 'capistrano-rails'
...

Capfile:

require 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/deploy'
require 'capistrano/rvm'
require 'capistrano/bundler'
require 'capistrano/rails/migrations'
...

Finally it worked using gem 'rvm1-capistrano3', require: false. It seems the best option for my setup (Rails4.0.1, ruby-2.0.0-p247, capistrano3). It didn't require special configuration.

You can find it here.

Hope it helps someone!
