I thought I would post a deployment recipe that I have found handy. I
wanted an automated log of when deployments were made and what they
included. So, I created a task which prepends the change messages
from svn to a deployment log, and commits it. Here it is:
before 'deploy:update_code', 'deploy:annotate_changelog'
namespace :deploy do
task :annotate_changelog do
cmd = source.local.log(current_revision)
result = `#{cmd}`
filename = "doc/#{stage}_changelog.txt"
old_contents = File.read(filename)
# append results to changelog file
open(filename, 'w') do |file|
file.puts "CHANGELOG for deploy occuring at '#{Time.now}' by
#{ENV['USER']}"
file.puts result
file.puts "\n\n"
file.puts old_contents
end
# commit the changelog to svn
system "svn commit -m 'updated deploy changelog for #{stage}'
#{filename}"
end
end
I wrote the file out to the "doc" directory and then created an action
which served up the file. I did this because I only allow "admin"
people to view the changelog. Otherwise, you could just write the
file out to the "public" dir and it would be even easier.
Anyway, this little recipe did what I wanted to do so I thought I
would share it.
cheers,
Haakon
