Hello everybody, I’m trying to include capistrano support into RoR application, as descripbed in the 2nd version of the Agile Rails book. But after invoking the command : # rake remote:cold\_deploy I’ve received the message “Capistrano/Rake integration is deprecated”: ################################## rake remote:cold\_deploy (in /var/www/ruby/demo) Capistrano/Rake integration is deprecated. Please invoke the ‘cap’ command directly: `cap cold\_deploy’ \* executing task cold\_deploy \* executing task update \*\* transaction: start \* executing task update\_code \* querying latest revision… svn: REPORT request failed on ‘/svn/demo/!svn/bc/0/trunk’ svn: ‘/svn/demo/!svn/bc/0/trunk’ path not found [update\_code] transaction: rollback \* [update\_code] rolling back \* executing “rm -rf /var/www/ruby/demo/releases/20070315145548” servers: [“localhost”] Password: [localhost] executing command command finished rake aborted!

You can run the same thing directly with capistrano (as the error message says). rake remote:cold\_deploy is just one step removed from: cap cold\_deploy Less typing, too! -Rob Rob B.

Can you run the svn commands manually on your application server? It seems like the svn command is found, but it’s looking for /svn/demo/! svn/bc/0/trunk -Rob Rob B.
