Uploading to incorrect folder

[chrisvanpatten]

I've searched around a bit and I'm fairly convinced this is a bug, not a PEBKAC (although apologies if it is!)

I have a linked dir setup like this:

set :linked_dirs, ['config/credentials']

Capistrano correctly creates the directory at /home/user/application/shared/config/credentials/, and symlinks it appropriately in /home/user/application/current/config/credentials/.

However, when the contents of that folder are initially uploaded, they're uploaded to /home/user/application/shared/credentials/*. That means the actual symlinked folder is empty, as the files are in the wrong place.

I've hunted around a bit for a solution but haven't encountered anything yet. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

I'm not a contributor but I can confirm this is an issue.

https://github.com/runar/capistrano-linked-files/blob/master/lib/capistrano/tasks/linked_files.rake#L35 needs to be changed.

SSHKit upload! method automatically creates the last level of the path of the arg1 at the arg2 location. It only creates the last level of the path at the arg2 location tho. For this to work, the last path level needs to be stripped from arg2.

I suggest adding something like (line 35) of lib/capistrano/tasks/linked_files.rake:
path = Pathname.new("#{shared_path}/#{dir}/").split.first.to_s
upload! dir, path, recursive: true

don't forget to require 'pathname' before the code
