Forum: Rails deployment Capistrano undefined current_path error

Hi Guys,

I've tried to use capistrano (2.5 or 2.5.8) in my Window to deploy the
project.

I found the following weird error for not finding current_path. I have
no clue why this happened. it seems that the error occurs before my
tasks is triggered.




c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-2.5.0/lib/capistrano/configuration/var
iables.rb:122:in `method_missing': undefined local variable or method
`current_p
ath' for #<Capistrano::Configuration:0x46c6e1c> (NameError)
        from ./deploy.rb:86:in `load'

Hi,
had the same problem, in my case it was a bad error message.
The problem was in the Capfile.
Make sure you Capfile has the following:

load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator
Dir['vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }
load 'config/deploy'

Hope this will help.
