How did putting /bin/sh -c in front of the command help? I've tried
this in visudo and I was still being prompted for the password, even
when entered it said the user did not have permission to run the
command as root.

Checking the sudoers file could work but you'd need to make sure you
checked for a restricted command set for the user and all the groups
it belongs to.

For now to get my deployments working I've reverted to 2.2.0
