assets_roles ignored

[reiz]

I'm using this GEMs for my deployment

gem 'capistrano', '3.0.1'
gem 'capistrano-rails', '1.1.0'
gem 'capistrano-bundler', '1.1.1'

In config/deploy/production.rb I defined only 1 single role

role :app, %w{capi@aws-7}

In config/deploy.rb I re defined the assets_roles:

set :assets_roles, [:app]   # Defaults to [:web]

I'm deploying like this:

cap production deploy

And somehow I got always this message and assets:precompile was skipped every time:

WARN [SKIPPING] No Matching Host for bundle exec rake assets:precompile

I could fix it by adding this line to config/deploy/production.rb:

role :web, %w{capi@aws-7}

Somehow this line in my deploy.rb is totally ignored.

set :assets_roles, [:app]   # Defaults to [:web]

Not sure if this is a bug or maybe I misconfigured something.

The options :assets_roles and :assets_prefix shouldn't be shown on the README page because they're not in version 1.1.0. They are only in the master branch.

If you compare the lib/capistrano/tasks/assets.rake file between the master branch and the v1.1.0 tag you'll see the references to :asset_roles and :assets_prefix don't appear in v1.1.0.

In your Gemfile change to using:

gem 'capistrano', github: 'capistrano/capistrano', group: :development
gem 'capistrano-rails', github: 'capistrano/rails', group: :development

And then you'll be using the latest version of Capistrano for Rails, where the above configuration should work.

I released 1.1.1 version of the gem and you can already use it from Rubygems.

Thanks! Using now version 1.1.1 and it works like expected. 👍
