How do I configure capistrano to use my rvm version of Ruby
You have two options:
- Enable .ssh environment variables using the
PermitUserEnvironmentoption in your ssh configuration file - Use the capistrano
:default_environmentsetting
For the second option, simply add the following line in your deploy.rb file
set :default_environment, { 'PATH' => "/path/to/.rvm/ree-1.8.7-2009.10/bin:/path/to/.rvm/gems/ree/1.8.7/bin:/path/to/.rvm/bin:$PATH", 'RUBY_VERSION' => 'ruby 1.8.7', 'GEM_HOME' => '/path/to/.rvm/gems/ree/1.8.7', 'GEM_PATH' => '/path/to/.rvm/gems/ree/1.8.7' }To get the accurate locations have a look at cat ~/.rvm/default
If your rvm version is recent on both development and production machines add this to your deploy.rb:
set :rvm_ruby_string, '1.9.2@yourapp' # you probably have this alreadyset :rvm_type, :user # this is the money config, it defaults to :system
The rvm-capistrano gem is the best way to go.
Link to the official detailed usage of that gem. From that I am guessing this will get the local version of Ruby:
set :rvm_ruby_string, ENV['GEM_HOME'].gsub(/.*\//,"") # Read from local system
