Command runs during deploy, but not when called independently

[wedtm]

I have the following in my deploy.rb: https://gist.github.com/4475871

When I run mina deploy, Sidekiq is started just as it should be.

However, if I kill sidekiq, and then run mina sidekiq:start, it never runs. I get this message:

> mina sidekiq:start --verbose                                                                                                                                              1.9.3p194 master@2ac0d22+rebase ✗

Sorry for the late reply. You've probably forgotten about this issue.

I'm able to run standalone tasks with Mina just fine. Are you still having this problem?

The message that you're getting seems fine. It looks like it ran your start task in your server, and simply closed the connection because there are no more tasks to run.

I suspect this is an issue with your custom task, so I'm closing this issue, but feel free to re-open it.

@wedtm @mikong I realise this is a very old problem that is apparently fixed, but I am also encountering this issue 2 years later on v0.3.2.

For some reason, the issue seems to be caused by Mina closing the connection to the server before Sidekiq can be fully daemonized. The fix I used is to add queue 'sleep 1' after the Sidekiq command in the start task.
