Could not location Gemfile for rails tasks

[sethvargo]

All of the Rails tasks are failing. It correctly SSHes to the server, but then fails with:

-----> Precompiling asset files
Could not locate Gemfile
Connection to xxx closed.

 !     Command failed.
       Failed with status 2560

There IS a Gemfile though.

This just means bundler is being run in a different directory than your Gemfile. Could you share your deploy script in a gist?

[jbonney]

Just in case it might help others, in order to ensure that you are in the application folder (and therefore have access to the Gemfile), simply do a queue! %[cd "#{deploy_to!}/#{current_path!}"] before calling the action that requires the Gemfile.

Should that not be the responsibility of the command in question?

For instance if calling this command.

mina rails:db_migrate

Should it not first cd into the correct directory and then perform the migration command.
This could be done withe pushd and popd for instance to leave the script in it starting directory.
