Deploy Rails 5.1 / Webpacker app with Capistrano
capistrano, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-5.1, ubuntu, webpack
Solution
The error tells you pretty much what's wrong. Neither Yarn or Node can be found on the server. Your installation might be incorrect.
Follow instructions to install both here:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
and here:
https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#linux-tab
Then make sure you can call:
yarn
node
On the server. If not, you might need to add paths to executables into your PATH variable
Problem
I have an Ubuntu server to deploy my Rails projects. In my Ubuntu server I had RVM. Now I want to deploy new projects with Rails 5.1 and webpacker. To deploy this projects, I've installed NVM, npm and yarn in my Ubuntu server. In my Rails 5.1 / Webpacker project I have following gems for capistrano deployment: Gemfile ``` group :development do gem 'capistrano-rails' gem 'capistrano-rvm' gem 'capistrano-passenger' gem 'capistrano-nvm', require: false gem 'capistrano-yarn' end ``` In deploy.rb I've added some configurations for capistrano nvm and capistrano yarn. deploy.rb ``` set :nvm_type, :user # or :system, depends on your nvm setup set :nvm_node, 'v7.10.0' set :nvm_map_bins, %w{node npm yarn} set :yarn_target_path, -> { release_path.join('client') } # set :yarn_flags, '--production --silent --no-progress' # default set :yarn_roles, :all # default set :yarn_env_variables, {} ``` Also I've added node_modules in linked_dirs. deploy.rb ``` set :linked_dirs, %w{log tmp/pids tmp/cache tmp/sockets vendor/bundle public/system node_modules client/node_modules} ``` The problem comes when I execute cap deploy in assets:precompile step. Next you have the error log. terminal log ``` 00:10 deploy:assets:precompile 01 /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm 2.4.1@project do bundle exec rake assets:precompile 01 Yarn executable was not detected in the system. 01 Download Yarn at https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install 01 /home/deploy/rails/241/project/shared/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/bin/rake: No such file or directory - node 01 Node.js not installed.
