There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'd take the block off of this as it complicates what you're trying to say. Maybe just: chef_role [:web, :app], 'roles:web'

Thanks so much for contributing this! You can't even do this in regular capistrano, but the API makes a lot of sense. I had a couple of minor comments, but let me know if you disagree. If you want to make the changes you can, otherwise I'll get this merged and bump the version. |

Yep, you're right that you can't do it in regular Capistrano. I looked at patching Cap but decided it was better to do it in your plugin as it really doesn't have as much advantage in Cap itself since you are not making a round trip to a remote server on each invocation. Glad you are happy with it. Thanks for the nice plugin. |

Beautiful! Thanks again. |
Support defining multiple Capistrano roles with the same host list
This adds the ability to define multiple Capistrano roles with a single search when the host lists would be identical. This is desirable when for example
:weband:appare the same hosts in your environment. It saves running the same Chef search multiple times with the same result. Tests and README update included.
