I'm trying to create a basic task for copying and linking database.yml file into my app, but I can't figure out why it s not working.

I'm using Capistrnao 3.1

This is my lib/capistrano/tasks/databases.cap file :

namespace :db_access do

  # Idea : https://github.com/capistrano/sshkit/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md
  desc 'Copy production database.yml from local workstation'
  task :copy_production do
    on roles :all do
      execute :mkdir, '-p', "#{shared_path}/config"
      upload! 'config/deploy/production.database.yml', "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
    end
  end


  # Idea : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9684649/capistrano-cant-deploy-my-database-yml
  desc 'Create database.yml symlinks to current release'
  task :create_symlinks do
    on roles :all do
      unless test "[ -f #{shared_path}/config/database.yml ]"
        invoke 'db_access:copy_production'
      end
      execute :ln, "-nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
    end
  end
end

This is the ouput I got :

douglas@bilbo:/var/www/odpf$ cap production db_access:create_symlinks
DEBUG [3f670dfd] Running /usr/bin/env [ -f /var/www/odpf/shared/config/database.yml ] on myserver.net

Tasks: TOP => db_access:create_symlinks

I don't know how to invoke the other task. I inspirate myslef from https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/blob/master/lib/capistrano/tasks/deploy.rake

If I try without the 'invoke' keyword and without ' ' signs :

namespace :db_access do
  # Idea : https://github.com/capistrano/sshkit/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md
  desc 'Copy production database.yml from local workstation'
  task :copy_production do
    on roles :all do
      execute :mkdir, '-p', "#{shared_path}/config"
      upload! 'config/deploy/production.database.yml', "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
    end
  end

  # Idea : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9684649/capistrano-cant-deploy-my-database-yml
  desc 'Create database.yml symlinks to current release'
  task :create_symlinks do
    on roles :all do
      unless test "[ -f #{shared_path}/config/database.yml ]"
        db_access.copy_production
      end
      execute :ln, "-nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
    end
  end
end

The result is as follow :

douglas@bilbo:/var/www/odpf$ cap production db_access:create_symlinks --trace
** Invoke production (first_time)
** Execute production
** Invoke load:defaults (first_time)
** Execute load:defaults
** Invoke db_access:create_symlinks (first_time)

This must be a simple syntaxe mistake but since I can't find a guide that explain that I don't know how to do.

Thanks for your helps

my command invoke 'db_access:copy_production' was correct.

The problem comes from SSH-KIT which has a bug. The problem is that Capistrano 3.1 is using ssh-kit version 1.3. So we have to use Capistrano 3.0.1 until ssh-kit get fixed.

Workaround : 

gem uninstall capistrano
gem uninstall capistrano-rails
gem uninstall sshkit
rm Gemfile.lock

Modify Gemfile :

  gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.0.1'
  gem 'sshkit', '~> 1.0.0'

Install gems :

bundle install
