symlink deploy

[digitalbart]

Hello,

I am trying to get current symlink to work in a non laravel app and it does not seem to be working.

Rocketeer::after('deploy', function($task) {

$current_release = $task->releasesManager->getCurrentReleasePath();
$task->command->info('Current Release: ' . $current_release);

# i tried this
$update_symlink = $task->updateSymlink();
   # and this 
$task->command->run(sprintf('ln -s %s %s', $current_folder, $current_release));
$task->command->info('updated symlink');     });

I'm not sure I get what you're trying to do, the symlink is done by Rocketeer internally, you don't have to do it yourself.

[digitalbart]

Thanks for the fast response. It does not create the symlink it should be in the same folder as releases correct? I tried a --verbose deploy and it does not showing anything unusual. I don't however see anything in the log either though, to indicate a symlink was created.

[Anahkiasen]

The current folder will actually be located one level up. Can you paste a log of your deployments?

[digitalbart]

Here is log:

Hm it seems Rocketeer considers your server to not be setup and tries to do so but fails. Does it just, stop there ? Also what is the shared_folder it tries to created in the beginning, that's not from Rocketeer.

[digitalbart]

I was just trying to make a shared_folder since it was not working? I am not sure why it is not setup, I see the deploys and folders? Here is what I get when I run a deploy:

$ php bin/rocketeer deploy | Deploy (Deploys the website) [~4.38s] |-- Closure fired by deploy.before [~0.4s] check if shared folder exists shared folder = creating shared folder |=> Server is not ready, running Setup task |-- Setup (Set up the remote server for deployment) [~0.58s] |---- Check (Check if the server is ready to receive the application) [~0.58s] |------ Check/Php (Checks if the server is ready to receive a PHP application) |=====> Checking presence of git |=====> Checking presence of Composer |=====> Checking PHP version |=====> Checking presence of required extensions |=====> Checking presence of required drivers The Composer package manager could not be found |-- Primer (Run local checks to ensure deploy can proceed) |-- CreateRelease (Creates a new release on the server) [~2.72s] |---- Deploy/Clone (Clones a fresh instance of the repository by SCM) |===> Cloning repository in "/var/www/html/test/releases/20141014103553" |===> Initializing submodules if any |-- Dependencies (Installs or update the dependencies on server) [~1.18s] |---- Dependencies/Polyglot (Runs all of the above package managers if necessary) |-- Closure fired by deploy.after [~0.41s] Current Release: /var/www/html/test/releases/20141014103553 updated symlink The tasks queue was canceled by task "Deploy" Execution time: 4.8174s Saved logs to /var/www/html/app/Vendor/.rocketeer/logs/production--20141014.log

[Anahkiasen]

Can you run that again with the --verbose flag ? Rocketeer says the deployment failed

[digitalbart]

sure here it is:

[Anahkiasen]

Can you remove your symlink task before that ? It seems it's failing during that, see where it goes without it

[digitalbart]

sure here is the verbose again: I am still not seeing a current though

[Anahkiasen]

It still seems to be executing something at Closure fired by deploy.after [~0.39s]. Do you have any more events you might have defined anywhere else?

[digitalbart]

Yes just echoing out the current version: I have a tasks.php which has this:

use Rocketeer\Facades\Rocketeer;

Rocketeer::before('deploy', function($task) {

$task->command->info('check if shared folder exists');

$shared_folder = $task->fileExists('shared_folder');

$task->command->info('shared folder = ' . $shared_folder);

if ($shared_folder):
    $task->command->info('folder already exists');
else:
    $task->createFolder('shared_folder');
    $task->command->info('creating shared folder');
endif;    

});

Rocketeer::after('deploy', function($task) {

$current_release = $task->releasesManager->getCurrentReleasePath();
$task->command->info('Current Release: ' . $current_release);

});

[Anahkiasen]

Try removing those two see if the deploy is able to proceed or if the problem is somewhere else ?

[digitalbart]

I did remove both and it still is not creating the symlink? Here is the verbose output and log below that:

[Anahkiasen]

I don't get it, why is it stopping like that abruptly. Are you able to clone the repository yourself on your server via those commands?

[digitalbart]

let me check, yes I am able to with this command: git clone "https://xxx:xxxx@bitbucket.org/brianbarthold/tic-tac-toe.git" "/var/www/html/test/releases/testclone" --branch="master" --depth="1"

Here is the output: Cloning into '/var/www/html/test/releases/testclone'... remote: Counting objects: 4, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. remote: Total 4 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (4/4), done. Checking connectivity... done.

and it does show in the releases directory

[digitalbart]

I was able to get this work, I am not sure if I am missing something on my server setup? I appreciate all your help. If you have any other suggestions let me know but this seems to work for now.

UPDATE: Turned out it was the strategies.php dependencies => 'Polygot'. I only had composer on the server, and once I switched that, it made it all the way to the end and it removed old deploys etc. Hope this helps anyone else if you are in the same boat.

Did work but had errors:

Rocketeer::after('deploy', function($task) {
$current_release = $task->releasesManager->getCurrentReleasePath();
$task->command->info('Current Release: ' . $current_release);
$current = "/var/www/html/test/current";
$task->run(sprintf('ln -s %s %s', $current_release, $current));
});

[Anahkiasen]

If you use $task->symlink does that work too ?
