More Capistrano 2 goodies: A Radiant recipe library

Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Capistrano, Nimboo, Radiant, Rails, Ruby

This is a followup to “A Couple of Capistrano 2 Recipes Libraries”:http://tempe.st/2007/09/a-couple-of-capistrano-2-recipes-libraries

It’s official: I am a Capistranoholist, and I can’t deploy any Rails application without using Capistrano anymore. A few days ago I had to setup a Radiant site for a client and I couldn’t resist writing a small capistrano recipe library (is there an official name for this kind of collections?) with callbacks dedicated to radiant and tasks that help managing radiant installations.

As usual you can get them from the recipes repository .

After you get the recipes load them from Capfile:

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator
load 'config/deploy'
load 'lib/recipes/medlar'
load 'lib/recipes/radiant'

Now you will have one more callback and an overridden deploy:cold task:

  after "deploy:migrate", "deploy:radiant:migrate:extensions"
 
  desc "Overridden deploy:cold for Radiant."
  task :cold do
    update
    "radiant:bootstrap"
    start
  end

The overridden task bootstraps radiant during deploy:cold (but assumes you use it only the first time you deploy!), and the callback migrates radiant extensions whenever you migrate your db.

If you don’t need the radiant recipes but you are using the medlar namespace I suggest you update from svn, there have been a lot of fixes to the recipes.
