Because if you want to deploy with migrations there's a task for that deploy:migrations
That gives you the ability to choose what's best for your situation deploy (site comes back up) deploy:migrate For long running migrations Or deploy:migrations (site comes back up) Or deploy (site comes back up) Fastest deploy when you know you don't have migrations. You can also change the normal deploy to always do migrations. before "deploy:symlink", "deploy:migrate" On Jan 3, 2012, at 8:36 AM, Matt <matt.rog...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Just curious - why is the default for `cap deploy` to *not* run migrations? > > I accept that there may be some circumstances in which you'd want to skip > migrations on a deploy (long-running migrations you'll run later, I guess?). > But, in my years of deploying many many different rails apps, I can only > think of a handful of times I've wanted to deploy but not run migrations.
