Thanks for this hack! This helped me out quite a bit. For as long
capistrano has been out there, I can't believe there are still so many
issues with deploying from a Windows machine!!
I had to make this change with the backslashes and I had to correct
the zip problem too (made a zip.bat and an unzip.bat file with the
proper commands so it would pass the deploy:check tests). Finally it
is could checkout my project and is now compressing all the files to
transfer up to my production server.
Thanks for your work!

Hey there. I am just getting started with using Capistrano for our
first Rails app ever. We are developing onWindowsboxes on a company
network. We are deploying to a Virtual Private Server running linux,
Fedora Core 7. We are also using Subversion. I don't want to poke
holes through our firewall to give access to svnserve(and I couldn't
figure out how). So its very necessary for us to use the :copy
option. I was running into a problem with a command that was
incorrectly switching slashes.
The repository lives at svn://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx/. When trying to
get a local copy of the repository, it would execute this command: svn
checkout -q --username x --password --no-auth-cache -r2005 svn:\
\192.xxx.xxx.xxx:\ c:\Docume~1\tilendor\locals~1\temp
\20090113204628
The script blindly flip slashes on the URL the same as the filepath
and fail, because the svn URL wasn't valid.
I made a patch which worked for me.
In capistrano\recipes\deploy\stategy\base.rd on line 50 is the method:
def system(*args)
cmd = args.join(' ')
if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /win32/
cmd.gsub!('/','\\') # Replace / with \\
cmd.gsub!(/^cd /,'cd /D ') # Replace cd with cd /D
cmd.gsub!(/ cd /,' cd /D ') # Replace cd with cd /D
logger.trace executing locally: #{cmd}
super(cmd)
else
logger.trace executing locally: #{cmd}
super
end
end
The problem line is cmd.gsub!('/','\\') #replace / with \\ that
blindly alters the URL and the filepath.
I made the following change:
if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /win32/
parts = cmd.split(' ')
parts.collect! do |part|
part.gsub!('/','\\') unless /\/\// =~ part # if the
string has // is probably a url, don't change.
part
end
cmd = parts.join(' ')
cmd.gsub!(/^cd /,'cd /D ') # Replace cd with cd /D
cmd.gsub!(/ cd /,' cd /D ') # Replace cd with cd /D
logger.trace executing locally: #{cmd}
super(cmd)
I be there are otherwindowsusers that face this issue. What would
it take to get this included in a future version of Capistrano?
Thanks,
~Tilendor
