Does anybody else have the problem that running “cap deploy:migrations”  
doesn’t run “deploy:after\_update”, but “cap deploy” does?

I have after\_update it make some symlinks to the shared directory and  
set some permission. Am I using it wrong?

Thanks,  
Mike

Mike,

```
I think (haven't checked the code) deploy:migrations doesn't

```

update the code. Then after\_update should not be triggered… If there  
is no new release folder, a new symlinks should not be required, also  
you could use:

after “deploy:symlink”, “whatevertask”

Actually, these are what “cap deploy:migrations” runs:  
deploy:migrations  
deploy:update\_code  
deploy:finalize\_update  
deploy:migrate  
deploy:symlink  
deploy:restart

This is from looking at the output when I run it.
