rvm_path vs rvm_custom_path

[kyledecot]

I'm a little confused as to why there is both rvm_path and rvm_custom_path. What is the difference between the two?

[Kriechi]

The only relevant one for the user is :rvm_custom_path
The other one is just used internally during run time.

[kyledecot]

If rvm_path is only meant to be used internally then shouldn't it be an instance method or something. It seems that leveraging capistrano's set method leads people to assume that this is supposed to be a configurable value.

[Kriechi]

Valid point.
But maybe people should only assume things to use, which are documented in the README.
If someone really wants to go through the code, I would assume the person will figure it out.

just my 2 cents.

[mczepiel]

FWIW, the README currently mentions :rvm_custom_path as the way to specify the path but setting that has no effect on capistrano/bundler's bundle:install task Meanwhile, setting :rvm_path gets things pointed at the right place.

There are plenty of contradictory examples/docs out there; it's not obvious what you're supposed to actually do.

+1 for @mczepiel

which rvm
/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm

And then the following deploy.rb works

set :rvm_type, :system
set :rvm_path, '/usr/local/rvm'
