The first line of my ~/.profile file is:
export DEVISE_TOKEN_AUTH_SECRET_KEY="secrethere"
When I SSH in to my deployer account, echo $DEVISE_TOKEN_AUTH_SECRET_KEY prints the secret key normally. However, when running
cap production deploy
I get
Devise.secret_key was not set
Any ideas why?
Capistrano makes its connection as a non-login, non-interactive shell. It will not automatically evaluate the various home scripts.
How Capistrano makes its connection is described here: http://capistranorb.com/documentation/advanced-features/ptys/
What files are evaluated on the various shell modes is described here: https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv/wiki/Unix-shell-initialization#bash
A number of other ways to set environment variables is shown here: Capistrano: Can I set an environment variable for the whole cap session?

From this last link, we see that ~/.bashrc might work.
