capistrano-nvm doesn't appear to be working with capistrano-bower

[ngw]

Hi, I'm deploying a Rails app that makes use of bower and nvm. The problem I'm having now, is that it appears that Capistrano is not running nvm.sh, without being able to find node during bower:install.
Does anyone know what the problem is here?

Capistrano output:
https://gist.github.com/ngw/5e6491071ef1ee364cebcd61b1347d38

Gemfile.lock:
https://gist.github.com/ngw/8b5b862915c288f618cd3420e707b598

Deploy.rb:
https://gist.github.com/ngw/3472dc3a2fac385da3f9c616a8f5a7a8

Does anybody have any idea what's happening here?

You will have to add bower to nvm_map_bins

set :nvm_map_bins, fetch(:nvm_map_bins, []).push 'bower'

[koenpunt]

Oh well, I now see you already have that in your deploy.rb

Same here. I was hoping it could resolve the failure to locate Bower on deploy, but didn't happen :(

set :nvm_map_bins, %w{node npm bower}

and still:

I'm actually using it with a local install of bower (so one that's defined in package.json), will test with a global install.

@koenpunt any plans to resolve this issue?

One could also use Bower from devDependencies with a simple script block:

devDependencies: {
  "bower": "~1.8.0"
},
scripts: {
  "bower": "bower"
}

and then call npm run bower <command>.

Good thing for instance, this way, is to install Bower dependencies with npm i where you can just have "install": "npm run bower install" which would then be appended to default npm i call so you get all dependencies covered at once.

@ain Thanks. My skill with capistrano is not that good however I will try your solution. :)
