Laravel Envoy Error: Was not Expected at This Time

I have tried to use Laravel Envoy, but when I run envoy run deploy I get the following error message:

[x.x.x.x]: << was not expected at this time.

Envoy.blade.php

@servers(['web' => 'x.x.x.x'])

@task('deploy', ['on' => 'web'])
    ls
@endtask

My Env

Windows 7 (x64)
PHP 5.4.22 (cli) (built: Nov 13 2013 21:17:59)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group

Solution

  • Unfortunately, Envoy only works on Linux or OSX, not Windows.

    See: http://laravel.com/docs/ssh#envoy-task-runner

    Note: Envoy requires PHP version 5.4 or greater, and only runs on Mac / Linux operating systems.
