Capistrano and Bundler problem - bundle: not found

Question

I keep getting the following error when trying to deploy my app with the bundle/install option:

    failed: "sh -c 'cd /home/deploy/swamp/releases/20110903003336 
    && bundle install --gemfile /home/deploy/swamp/releases/20110903003336/Gemfile 
    --path /home/deploy/swamp/shared/bundle --deployment --quiet 
    --without development test'" on 12.345.678.98

**Update - looks like I missed an error:

[err :: 12.345.678.98] sh: bundle: not found

I've tried this in my deploy.rb:

require "bundler/capistrano"

and I've tried this:

namespace :bundler do
  task :create_symlink, :roles => :app do
    shared_dir = File.join(shared_path, 'bundle')
    release_dir = File.join(current_release, '.bundle')
    run("mkdir -p #{shared_dir} && ln -s #{shared_dir} #{release_dir}")
  end
  task :bundle_new_release, :roles => :app do
    bundler.create_symlink
    run "cd #{release_path} && bundle install --without test"
  end
end
after 'deploy:update_code', 'bundler:bundle_new_release'

I've also moved my bundle to the vendor path with this:

bundle install --path vendor/bundle

I don't think it's a permissions problem, because I can log in manually with deploy and bundle install directly on the server no problem. Here is the entire deploy.rb file:

require "bundler/capistrano"


 set :application, "swamp"
 set :domain, "12.345.678.98"
 set :repository,  "git@github.com:***/**.git"
 set :deploy_to, "/home/deploy/#{application}"
 set :rails_env, 'production'
 set :branch, "master"

 role :app, domain
 role :web, domain
 role :db,  domain, :primary => true

 set :deploy_via, :remote_cache

 set :scm, :git
 set :user, "deploy"
 set :runner, "deploy"
 ssh_options[:port] = ****
 set :use_sudo, false

 after "deploy", "deploy:cleanup"

namespace :deploy do

    desc "Restarting mod_rails with restart.txt"
    task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
        run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
    end

    [:start, :stop].each do |t|
        desc "#{t} task is a no-op with mod_rails"
        task t, :roles => :domain do ; end
    end
end

task :after_update_code do  
 run "ln -nfs #{deploy_to}/shared/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
end

Are you using RVM or anything that could make your session different when you login vs when capistrano connects? — danivovich, Sep 03 '11 at 02:18
No, I'm not using RVM - it turned out that the solution was to show where bundle was in the deploy.rb file. I'm not very knowledgable with this $PATH stuff. I thought the solution was odd, because of the past few weeks, I've never seen this option set in a deploy file. — fatfrog, Sep 03 '11 at 02:30

I found the solution here:

http://www.pastbedti.me/2011/06/change-path-environment-with-rails-and-capistrano/

In you config/deploy.rb add the following snippet

    set :default_environment, {
      'PATH' => "/opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/:$PATH"
    }

Then I had to add gemfile.lock and gemfile to the repository and the BAM!

note that in cap 3, they changed (for no reason I can understand) this to "default_env" – Bret Weinraub Dec 20 '13 at 12:19
@BretWeinraub Thank you so much. I just wasted 3 hours on that one. For those using Capistrano 3, please make note of the variable name change. – Venice Mar 16 '14 at 16:38

the below solution works for capistrano 2. for version 3 and up use the capistrano-rbenv plugin.

assuming you're using the bash shell and have rbenv configured in something along the lines of a bashrc or profile file (globally in /etc or on a user-by-user basis) the problem is that capistrano does not use a so-called login shell which is required to have these files loaded (which, in the end, load rbenv).

for that purpose you might want to instruct capistrano to use such a shell:

default_run_options[:shell] = '/bin/bash --login'

put that into your deploy.rb. also has the benefit of keeping you DRY by not introducing another location to manage your rbenv $PATH additions -- in contrast to fatfrog's solution.

This happens because the bashrc rbenv init doesn't get executed. Move this to the top of your deployer user bashrc file and it will fix the problem:

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

I had this already in my `.bashrc` file, but it was at the bottom. Moving it to the top did the trick. – seancdavis Sep 11 '14 at 10:51

If your Issue is RVM on the server, then look at the help provided by rvm.io: https://rvm.io/integration/capistrano/#gem

make sure you indeed have the rbenv installed in your server(sounds ridiculous, but it did happen in my case)
use this gem: https://github.com/yyuu/capistrano-rbenv

I was facing this problem and in my case the snippet from deploy/production.rb was as follows:

run "cd #{release_path} && bundle --without development test"

Had to install bundler as follows:

sudo apt-get install bundler

sudo apt-get install bundler will install system bundler not RVM – Neelesh May 27 '15 at 08:49
