Ahh the problem lies not in cap but your definition hosts=ENV['hosts'].split(',') hosts.each do |instance| role :web, *hosts role :app, *hosts role :db, *hosts end
If your hosts is really semi colon delimited the host.each loop is unnecessary the splat operator takes care of it. hosts may also be a reserved name in capistrano If hosts is not reserved, and you've really fed the environment variable a comma delimited list then hosts=ENV['hosts'].split(',').map(&:strip) role :web, *hosts role :app, *hosts role :db, *hosts (I would strip the results for safety.) Should be enough, or switch it around to the server helper and don't even bother with an intermediate variable. ENV['hosts'].split(',').map(&:strip).each do |instance| server instance, :web, :app, :db end On Aug 14, 2013, at 10:47 PM, "C.
