incompatibility between capistrano-resque and capistrano-rbenv

[mlvea]

I'm using capistrano 3.2.1 with capistrano-resque gem to restart rasque workers on deployment. Always getting this error.

cd /home/azureuser/apps/app_production/current && ( RBENV_ROOT=~/.rbenv RBENV_VERSION=2.1.1 /usr/bin/env nohup RBENV_ROOT=~/.rbenv RBENV_VERSION=2.1.1 ~/.rbenv/bin/rbenv exec bundle exec rake RACK_ENV=production RAILS_ENV=production QUEUE="mailer" PIDFILE=/home/azureuser/apps/app_production/shared/tmp/pids/resque_work_1.pid BACKGROUND=yes VERBOSE=1 INTERVAL=5 environment resque:work >> log/resque.log 2>> log/resque.log )

If I check my error log at apps/app_production/current/log/resque.log it shows.

ohup: failed to run command `RBENV_ROOT=/home/azureuser/.rbenv': No such file or directory

I brought the issue to stackoverflow and here is the thread.

In 0.2.2, we started using nohup at a couple users' request. Can anyone who's having this issue confirm if locking to 0.2.1 fixes the problem? If so, I could add something to make the nohup command a configurable setting (defaulting to false).

[lewispb]

I'm not sure how you would fix it but where you use this command:

nohup #{fetch(:bundle_cmd, "bundle")} exec rake

I think that the fetch method prepends the RBENV_ variables to the bundle command.

Does this from sidekiq help?

https://github.com/lemurheavy/sidekiq_test/blob/master/lib/sidekiq/capistrano.rb#L39

Note the ; instead of &&

[dmarkow]

The primary difference I see is that they're directly cding into the path instead of using Capistrano's built-in within current_path do..end block, which causes the && instead of the ;. (They fetch :sidekiq_cmd instead of directly running bundler, but :sidekiq_cmd defaults to be identical to what we're directly using).

I think capistrano-rbenv reworks the results of fetch(:bundle_cmd) to be prefixed with the environment stuff, so I would expect the sidekiq code to also put the RBENV_ROOT stuff after the nohup?

What happens if you manually SSH into your server and run the cd .... && ( RBENV_ROOT=....) line? Does it work? Does it work if you instead change it to use ;?

I'll test this out when I have some time, but I recall the current implementation working fine as-is on my test server (which includes capistrano-rbenv) so I may not be able to reproduce.

Also, I really need to clean up and add the stuff below to the README, with the top of the README saying "You probably should not use this library". Using the approach below, with a process manager, avoids the need to do some of the hacks we have like nohup, adding sleep statements, etc. Just set up an init script and all you have to do on deploy is something like sudo service resque restart.

This mirrors the author of Sidekiq's thoughts at the bottom of this page: https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Deployment):

---

From #72: This gem isn't the best approach to managing workers on a production system. What happens if the system reboots or the workers die unexpectedly? Using a system-level process manager (upstart, init.d, etc.) will handle this kind of stuff without having to manually deploy/start resque via capistrano. If you need to restart workers during a deploy, you can just add a super-simple task like sudo service resque restart. And if you need to set a custom user, this can be done in the init/upstart script.

You can create a new release with this changes?

I encountered this issue with the newest Capistrano.

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/308370/how-can-i-set-environment-variables-for-a-program-executed-using-nohup

just add env before the

#{SSHKit.config.command_map[:rake]}

my code is 👍

desc "Start Resque workers"
  task :start do

    for_each_workers do |role, workers|
      on roles(role) do
        create_pid_path
        worker_id = 1
        workers.each_pair do |queue, number_of_workers|
          info "Starting #{number_of_workers} worker(s) with QUEUE: #{queue}"
          number_of_workers.times do
            pid = "#{fetch(:resque_pid_path)}/resque_work_#{worker_id}.pid"
            within current_path do
              execute :nohup, %{env #{SSHKit.config.command_map[:rake]} RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} QUEUE="#{queue}" PIDFILE=#{pid} BACKGROUND=yes #{"VERBOSE=1 " if fetch(:resque_verbose)}INTERVAL=#{fetch(:interval)} #{"environment " if fetch(:resque_environment_task)}resque:work #{output_redirection}}
            end
            worker_id += 1
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end

if you are using rbenv_prefix just add env at the first place,my code is

set :rbenv_prefix, "env RBENV_ROOT=#{fetch(:rbenv_path)} RBENV_VERSION=#{fetch(:rbenv_ruby)} #{fetch(:rbenv_path)}/bin/rbenv exec"

fix this issues with nothing change, good luck!

@archfish It works for me! Thanks a lot.
