[Capistrano] Re: Passing multiple arguments to Cap

[Jamis Buck]

Capistrano interprets all bare arguments as tasks to be executed. The multistage extension makes this work by defining tasks for each stage, so that "cap production deploy" first calls the "production" task, and then calls "deploy".

  cap upload FILES=dir_a,dir_b,dir_c



  task :upload do
    files = ENV['FILES'].split(/,/)
    # ...
  end

If you want to pass parameters to your tasks, you can do it via environment variables: Then, your upload task gets the FILES env var, parses it, and processes the directories as needed:

I'm using Cap as a basic shell script replacement (I don't use SCM

tasks, and it's all going swimmingly - except...
I'd like to be able to read the arguments off the command into an

cap upload dir_a dir_b dir_c

I know that the capistrano multistage extension reads several items
from the command line, so it should be possible.

If i just execute the above as is, I get a "task dir_a not
found" (although I can still use the arguments with ARGV[]).
