Switchtower deploy error

Rails
1

I’m trying to deploy a rails app with no success.

I can execute: ‘rake remote_exec ACTION=setup’

but when I try to execute : ‘rake deploy’

I got this error:
loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/switchtower-0.10.0
/lib/switchtower/recipes/standard.rb

[www.[my_server].com] executing command

No such file or directory - svn log -q -rhead
file:///home/[my_user]/repo/[my_app]/trunk

But if I connect to my server with the same user I can execute the
command:

svn log -q -rhead file:///home/[my_user]/repo/[my_app]/trunk

I can use tortoiseSVN no access my repo via svn+ssh

I change my shell to bash, with not success

Any clue?

Thx

Edgar,

SwitchTower won’t work with file:// repositories. The repository must
be accessible to both the local host, and the remote host.

Also, in your case, the error is due to the ‘svn’ executable not
being found on the remote host. Is svn installed on the remote host?
If so, is it in the path?

Jamis,

The subversion is installed in the same server.

In the server (using the same user as I configure in deploy.rb) I can
execute:

svn log -q -rhead file:///home/[my_user]/repo/[my_app]/trunk

In the server the svn is in the PATH, also I added to the deploy.rb:

set :svn, “/usr/bin/svn”

with the same error

BTW, you said that “SwitchTower won’t work with file:// repositories”,
so I
have to change the url for some like svn+ssh?

Thx

Jamis,

I changed my repo to:

set :repository, “svn+ssh://[my_user]@[my_server]/[my_app]/trunk/”

This url is what I use in tortoiseSVN and works fine

but the error is the same:

No such file or directory - svn log -q -rhead
svn+ssh://[my_user]@[my_server]/[my_app]/trunk/

maybe the error is not related to SVN?

thx again
