An opinionated Rainbows for Vlad

This plugin assumes the following:

You have existing rake tasks to start/stop Rainbows.
Your target system(s) have a system wide install of RVM.
Your application is Rack based, and makes use of the 'RACK_ENV' environment variable.

Description

A Vlad plugin for controlling Rainbows.

Installation

Bundler

Add the following to your Gemfile.

gem "vlad-rainbows", "~> 0.1.4"

Usage

In your rake file do the following:

begin
  require "vlad"
Vlad.load :app => :rainbows
rescue LoadError
  puts $!
end

This plugin assumes you have rake tasks to handle stopping/starting Rainbows. By default the tasks are named:

app:start
app:stop

The tasks can be overriden by updating deploy.rb with:

set :app_start_task, "task_name"
set :app_stop_task, "task_name"

The plugin provides a run_rake method for executing rake tasks remotely. If you wish to override the method's implementation, provide a block to :run_rake_proc in deploy.rb.

set :run_rake_proc, Proc.new {
  run [
    "cd #{current_path}",
    "#{rake_cmd} RACK_ENV=#{rack_env} #{task}",
  ]
}

You can also override the following defaults in deploy.rb:

:rvmrc
:rack_env
:rake_cmd
