rvm-shell path change in capistrano scripts

[dgm]

As also reported to the capistrano folks in capistrano/capistrano#43, the capistrano recipe tries to use rvm-shell in /usr/local/rvm/bin, but they appear to now be installed in /usr/local/bin.

The temporary workaround that we found is to:

set :rvm_bin_path, "/usr/local/bin"

Your information is incorrect. RVM does not install rvm-shell to /usr/local/bin/ it installs it to /usr/local/rvm/bin/ ash shown below:

∴ ls /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm
rvm rvm-auto-ruby rvm-exec rvm-installer rvm-prompt rvm-shell rvmsudo

∴ rvm --version

rvm 1.8.3 by Wayne E. Seguin (wayneeseguin@gmail.com) [https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]

counter proof:

[root@devsys ~]# ls -al /usr/local/bin/rvm*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 651 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvm
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 688 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvm-auto-ruby
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1598 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvm-exec
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 6732 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvm-installer
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 3704 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvm-prompt
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 1593 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvm-shell
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 916 Sep 18 13:07 /usr/local/bin/rvmsudo
[root@devsys ~]# ls /usr/local/rvm/bin
[root@devsys ~]#

And if you read that other thread, obviously other people have it do this too.

It's been some time since I did this, so I don't know where this comes from, but /etc/rvmrc has:

# Setup default configuration for rvm.
# If an rvm install exists in the home directory, don't load this.'
if [[ ! -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]]; then
  umask g+w
  export rvm_selfcontained=0
  export rvm_prefix="/usr/local/"
fi
rvm_trust_rvmrcs=1

grepping for rvm_prefix yields this suspicious line:

true "${rvm_bin_path:="${rvm_prefix}/bin"}"

which looks like it might be responsible for the wrong install path.

The global rvmrc doesn't do what you're showing. it only contains umask g+w so thats a hand modified rvmrc.
Also, in the 1.6.x series things were installed into /usr/local/bin but that hasn't been true for some time now. And that rvm_prefix grep is correct. its not suspicious. The rvm_prefix is usually /usr/local/rvm and NOT /usr/local

Ah, well, this has been installed for a while, so the rvmrc file is probably from the 1.6 series. I'm fairly sure I only used whatever the rvm website said to do at the time.

I tried to update it today and the rvm update command was no longer valid that was in that version, so I ran the install script from the website again... it must have tripped on that old configuration. Perhaps the install script could put up a warning if it sees that?
