Capistrano reuse tasks for deploy and quickfixes with current_release_or_path

  • current_release only works in deployment
  • current_path only works after deployment
  • latest_release only works when all servers have the same timestamp for ‘latest release’
  • current_release_or_path is always correct

def current_release_or_path
  exists?(:deploy_timestamped) ? current_release : current_path
end
