Capistrano::Scm::None

This is SCM Plugin for Capistrano 3.7+. It allows you define your own deploy:upload task that gets called to put code on the remote hosts.

Why? I use Capistrano to deploy a number of Clojure apps. These apps only need the compiled JAR file. Maybe one or two support files. Also makes sense to compile once on the local machine/build server and deploy to multiple hosts. I love Capistrano and have been using it for a long time, but w/ the v3 the copy deploy strategry was removed. I don't really disagree with that and this is actually cleaner then how I was doing things in v2.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem "capistrano-scm-none", "~> 0.1"
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-scm-none

In your Capfile require the gem and install the plugin. Comment out any current SCM plugin.

require 'capistrano/scm/none'
install_plugin Capistrano::Scm::None::Plugin

In a rake file in /lib/capistrano/tasks add a deploy:upload task that uploads whatever files you need.

Here's an example.

namespace :deploy do
  desc "upload jar"
  task :upload do
    on release_roles :all do
      upload! "target/standalone.jar", 
        "#{release_path}/standalone.jar"

      upload! "target/run.sh", "#{release_path}/run.sh"
      
      within release_path do
        execute :chmod, '+x', 'run.sh'
      end
    end
  end
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.

• Better tests.
• Get SCM revision number from local repo.
