Engineyard Deployment: How to detect in deployhooks that its the first attempt to execute 'rake db:seed'

I am having trouble to detect that this is the first attempt of deployment after a server instance is booted. I need to run the command rake db:seed only the first time to set the default users and other details in database. I have no idea if this is possible.

can anybody help me please

Solution

  • The best way to find out is by sending --extra-deploy-hook-options while running deployment command and check in the after_migrate.rb if config[:initial] is present or not. The command would look like

      ey deploy -e myapp_staging --config=initial:true

    after_migrate.rb hook will looks like:

    on_app_servers do
  if config[:initial] == 'true'
    $stderr.puts "Seeding the data"
    run "cd #{config.release_path}"
    run "bundle exec rake db:seed"
  else
    $stderr.puts "Skipping the Seeding process"
   end
end
