When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error “No such file to load – pathname” when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what’s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? (Output follows.) Thanks.

Any ideas > what’s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? (Output follows.) it seems the ‘pathname’ file is missing. Do you have all the dependencies of Rails/Capistrano properly installed? I think your app is OK, its just the installation of core libraries which is missing something. – Surendra S.

I concur – have you ever run reaper locally? If you have ever “upgraded” rails (some of us have recently), you may need to run: rails . on the current dir to replace the older script/process/reaper tasks. I _think_ they’ve been modified between versions. Also you could do: sudo gem install capistrano --include-dependencies or update instead of install. cheers. On 8/12/06, Surendra S.
