symlink to current is broken

[bcasci]

Hello.

I'm running into a strange problem that I hope someone can give me a pointer on. The deployment runs fine but the symlink to <deployment_root>/current is wrong. Each deployment creates a broken symlink to a release path beneath current. Logging in to the server and manually running "ln -s <any_release_path> current" instead of ln -nsf will correctly symlink a release path to current.

desc "Deploys the current version to the server."
task :deploy => :environment do
  deploy do
    invoke :'git:clone'
    invoke :'deploy:link_shared_paths'
    invoke :'bundle:install'
    to :launch do  
      queue "touch #{deploy_to}/shared/tmp/restart.txt"
    end
  end
end

$ mina deploy --verbose

# this is what's creating broken symlinks to current 
-----> Updating the current symlink
       $ ln -nfs "$release_path" "current"

# an ls of {deploy_to}/current shows this
$ ls -l /var/www/apps/recording-service/current/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 deployer deployer 10 Dec 23 09:55 1 -> releases/1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 deployer deployer 10 Dec 23 10:06 2 -> releases/2

Similar issue with a new install on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 ... during initial deploy

-----> Precompiling asset files
       $ RAILS_ENV="production" bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_GROUPS=assets 
       rake aborted!
       File exists - /var/www/someapp/tmp/build-13740049973502/tmp

Can you advise exactly how you got around this problem cause I have no idea? Where did you run ls -s current?

[edipofederle]

@JonleePeakman I just remove deploy directory .... and try again.

Had same problem...
solved it by removing this line from deploy script in setup task

"queue! %[mkdir -p "#{deploy_to}/current"]"

and then manually delete current folder from server
after that run mina setup and mina deploy

Exactly, current in a smylink that creates automatically, you if you create a folder named current in the setup task please remove it.
