Hi Greg,
By design Capistrano will ignore a user's login files (~/.profile,
~/.bash_login, /etc/profile, and the rest (system dependent). You should
always endeavour to set the full path to executables.
An example might be:
set :usermod, '/usr/sbin/usermod'
This way you'll also need to modify the task in question (which is an
extension in your app, as it's not a standard part of the deploy) to
something like run("#{usermod} --gid") (so, variable interpolation)
The alternative, if you don't wish to do that is to use the
:default_environment (magic undocumented) variable, there's a short and
sweet guide here on RVM's site about how it is used, but you can use that to
set the environmental variables.
This second method might be a short-term solution, but will pollute the logs
and output with this stuff before every command that is run(). Here's an
example:
set :default_environment, {
'PATH' => "/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH",
I hope this helps Greg!
