Rails 6 Capistrano deploy is failing even though application works fine when it is started manually

So this application works perfectly fine when I deploy it to Heroku

I am trying to deploy this to a VM (a plain ubuntu droplet on digital ocean)

Have set up Capistrano as expected. Am unable to figure out where this error is possibly coming from

SSHKit::Runner::ExecuteError: Exception while executing as deploy@<IP ADDRRESS>: rake exit status: 1
rake stdout: Nothing written
rake stderr: Nothing written

The Capistrano deploy logs are as follows:

00:21 deploy:assets:precompile

** DEPLOY FAILED

Tried running the last command manually (as shown in debug logs)

cd /home/deploy/mark_antony/releases/20201201034511 && ( export RBENV_ROOT="$HOME/.rbenv" RBENV_VERSION="2.7.1" RAILS_ENV="production" RAILS_GROUPS="" ; $HOME/.rbenv/bin/rbenv exec bundle exec rake assets:precompile )

and this works perfectly fine. When i try to run this build on the server manually, that works too

Need some help please 😅

This is my deploy.rb:

# config valid for current version and patch releases of Capistrano
lock "~> 3.14.1"

set :application, "mark_antony"
set :repo_url, "[email protected]:browneinstitute/mark.git"

# Default branch is :master
set :deploy_to, "/home/deploy/#{fetch :application}"

append :linked_dirs, 'log', 'tmp/pids', 'tmp/cache', 'tmp/sockets', 'vendor/bundle', '.bundle', 'public/system', 'public/uploads'

set :keep_releases, 5

append :linked_files, "config/master.key"

Side Note: I manually made a new current symlink to a release directory that was created in this manner to see if nginx is able to serve the webpage. And it is able to

Solution

  • So I figured this always failed at precompile assets and the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61210930/2358326

    helped solve the issue, except I had to add a slightly different value for the path

    # add in deploy.rb

set :default_env, {
    PATH: '$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.1/bin/:$PATH',
    NODE_ENVIRONMENT: 'production'
}

    this was because running $ which yarn on the VM returned the following:

    /home/deploy/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.1/bin/yarn
