How to rewrite this Capistrano 2 code to use Capistrano 3 syntax? (Rails)

Question

I need to deploy mailman with daemon and capistrano for my rails app. I came across this article and just followed the steps that he wrote.

But when I tried to deploy it, my local machined gave me this error:

The deploy has failed with an error: undefined local variable or method `mailman'.

I know the reason why this failed is because I am using the latest version capistrano (version 3.4.0) while the code is for the older version of it (probably version 2+)

Below is the code:

# Mailman configuration
namespace :mailman do
  desc "Mailman::Start"
  task :start, :roles => [:app] do
      run "cd #{current_path};RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} script/mailman_daemon.rb start"
  end

  desc "Mailman::Stop" 
  task :stop, :roles => [:app] do
      run "cd #{current_path};RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} script/mailman_daemon.rb stop"
  end 

  desc "Mailman::Restart" 
  task :restart, :roles => [:app] do
      mailman.stop mailman.start
  end
end 
before "deploy:cleanup", "mailman:restart"

So, may I know how could I rewrite the above code to follow the latest version of capistrano?

Thanks!

Capistrano 3 syntax changed quite a lot, try this:

# Mailman configuration
namespace :mailman do
  desc "Mailman::Start"
  task :start do
    on roles(:app) do
      within release_path do
        with rails_env: fetch(:rails_env) do
          execute "script/mailman_daemon.rb", "start"
        end
      end
    end
  end

  desc "Mailman::Stop"
  task :stop do
    on roles(:app) do
      within release_path do
        with rails_env: fetch(:rails_env) do
          execute "script/mailman_daemon.rb", "stop"
        end
      end
    end
  end

  desc "Mailman::Restart"
  task :restart do
    on roles(:app) do
      invoke("mailman:stop")
      invoke("mailman:start")
    end
  end
end

before "deploy:cleanup", "mailman:restart"

See the Capistrano upgrade guide for more options.
