caplock¶ ↑

Adds a lock file to Capistrano deployments.

$ gem install caplock

Include in your Capfile

require 'rubygems'
require 'caplock'

Define the name of your lock file in your deploy.rb

set :lockfile, "my.lock" # defaults to "cap.lock"

The ‘lock:check` task is executed automatically before `deploy:update_code` (i.e. before deploy). If you have overridden the default deploy task, you may need to add the task with:

before "deploy", "lock:check"

If the lockfile becomes stale (because you interrupted the deployment with CTRL-C for example)

cap lock:release  # or "cap production lock:release" with multistage

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
