[Capistrano] Re: Cap doesn't respond to multiple git checkouts from multiple repo's

[Jamis Buck]

The issue, it appears, is that git is asking for a password when it tries to do the clone on the remote server, and the git SCM module isn't set up to look for and respond to password prompts. The workaround would be to make sure you can do passwordless logins to your git repo server from your deployment server. (As root, if you're using sudo, though you shouldn't need sudo to do a git clone.)

Even a normal command like scp doesn't seem to respond. I replaced git
clone with "scp" so that all the files are copied to my deployment
server. But that also waits for a password prompt and does nothing
after I enter the password.

Hi,

I have integrated Wordpress into my Rails app and both these apps are
maintained as different git repo's. I have setup Cap to deploy the
main Rails app and it works fine. But I have an after callback that
will checkout/clone files from my wordpress repo and deploys to the

log file:

  * executing "sudo -p 'sudo password: ' git clone -q
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/git/wordpress"
    servers: ["xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"]
    [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] executing command
 ** [out :: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
secret%^&

At the last prompt I entered the git password but it's not responding
at all. It just stays there forever.

Here is my task definition:

desc "Deploy Wordpress"
    task :wp do
      run "cd #{current_path}/public"
      run "rm -rf wp"
      sudo "git clone -q #{wp_repo}"
    end

What could be wrong? I tried replacing sudo with run, clone with
checkout....nothing is working.
Thanks
