Depend on deploy:set_rails_env for unicorn:start (or load:defaults)

[eLod]

I'm not sure if I missed something but if I run bundle exec cap production unicorn:start it fails because rails_env is not set. With bundle exec cap production deploy:set_rails_env unicorn:start it works as expected.

when i only unicorn stop and start. RAILS_ENV is not set and can't start unicorn.

@eLod solution is works.

I didn’t notice before as I always set it manually.

set :rails_env, "production"

Same problem here, I tried @eLod's solution and it worked.

This won't be needed after capistrano-rails 1.1.2 is released as it adds these lines to it's task definitions:

Capistrano::DSL.stages.each do |stage|
  after stage, "deploy:set_rails_env"
end

This causes Rails env variables to be added at the beginning of each stage.

Hi,

For me, whatever I do, it ends up with -E deployment :-/

[amw]

That's correct. -E is for setting RACK_ENV. Most setups use something like RAILS_ENV=production unicorn -E deployment.

That's strange, setting :unicorn_rack_env does the trick for me.
