Capistrano 3 Permission Denied

Question

I'm converting an app from capistrano version 2 to version 3 and now i'm getting this error:

DEBUG [7095ead3] Running /usr/bin/env git ls-remote git@myapp.git.beanstalkapp.com:/myapp/myapp.git on myapp.com
DEBUG [7095ead3] Command: ( GIT_ASKPASS=/bin/echo GIT_SSH=/tmp/myapp.com/git-ssh.sh /usr/bin/env git ls-remote git@myapp.git.beanstalkapp.com:/myapp/myapp.git )
DEBUG [7095ead3]        fatal: cannot exec '/tmp/myapp.com/git-ssh.sh': Permission denied
DEBUG [7095ead3]        fatal: unable to fork
DEBUG [7095ead3] Finished in 0.195 seconds with exit status 128 (failed).

How can i get past this?

Are you able to clone the app directly into the server with capistrano? please check that option as it may seem that there is a possible error in the .ssh config — user944938, Apr 08 '14 at 19:12
Yea you're right, I can't actually run the command from the server. Is this something new that never used to be done in capistrano 2? Like did cap 2 checkout code locally and then push it to the server? — Catfish, Apr 09 '14 at 02:19
Thinking about this some more, I shouldn't necessarily be able to run that command on the server because when I run it on my dev machine, I have the option `forward_agent: true` set which passes my credentials (including keys) to the server when running the command. — Catfish, Apr 09 '14 at 04:28
I can see your GIT_SSH is trying to make a clone in /tmp, im not sure if executables and scripts are allowed on your server /tmp, can you create your tmp directory in your /home/ and see if that helps.. — user944938, Apr 09 '14 at 16:37
I can, but how can I modify the capistrano task so that it knows to use the tmp dir I specify? — Catfish, Apr 09 '14 at 17:41
You can set your deploy.rb: set :tmp_dir, "#{fetch(:home)}/tmp" — user944938, Apr 09 '14 at 18:04
I added tmp_dir like you said and it still gives me the same error. — Catfish, Apr 11 '14 at 01:38
I should clarify. I added tmp_dir like you said, but I'm not explicitly setting the `:home` variable anywhere. Is that an implicit variable? — Catfish, Apr 12 '14 at 00:26

I encountered this problem and solved this by reading this website (https://community.webfaction.com/questions/15144/capistrano-3-deploys-fatal-error-executing-tmpmyappgit-sshsh)

So, this is what I attempted

Create tmp dir in your HOME directory
I added in my .bashrc

export TMPDIR="$HOME/tmp"
In deploy.rb, add this

set :tmp_dir, "#{fetch(:home)}/tmp"

Then, try to cap production deploy again and it worked for me, hopefully for you too! :D

Why is it necessary to add a TMPDIR variable in your .bashrc? – rb- Jan 13 '15 at 01:41
For some reasons `fetch(:home)` doesn't work for me. In my config it made sense to use `fetch(:stage)` instead, which I did. – philippe_b Jul 24 '15 at 08:33
I had to set home as well: `set :home, '/home/mysite'` `set :tmp_dir, "#{fetch(:home)}/tmp"` – rob-gordon Mar 08 '16 at 22:26

I believe this is a bug inside Capistrano. You have to remove whitespaces from your :application variable.
