How can I set Capistrano configuration paths?
Capistrano config and tasks paths can be explicitly defined, like so:
Capfile
# default deploy_config_path is 'config/deploy.rb'
set :deploy_config_path, 'cap/deploy.rb'
# default stage_config_path is 'config/deploy'
set :stage_config_path, 'cap/stages'
# previous variables MUST be set before 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/setup'
# default tasks path is `lib/capistrano/tasks/*.rake`
# (note that you can also change the file extensions)
Dir.glob('cap/tasks/*.rb').each { |r| import r }
Here is the corresponding capistrano configuration structure:
├── Capfile
└── cap
├── stages
│ ├── production.rb
│ └── staging.rb
├── tasks
│ └── custom_tasks.rb
└── deploy.rb
Be aware that you will have to provide an absolute path, if you want your "deploy_config_path" to be "capistrano/deploy.rb". See this issue for more explanations and how to get an absolute path in Ruby.
