deploy:normalize_assets, 'No such file or directory'

[ghost]

I use capistrano-rails (1.1.7) on OS X 10.11.6 deploying my Rails app to a Ubuntu server (14.04.4 LTS).

In config/deploy.rb, I set normalize_asset_timestamps with an array

set :normalize_asset_timestamps, %w{public/assets public/images}

When I run cap deploy:normalize_assets, I get the following warning

00:00 deploy:normalize_assets
      01 find ["public/assets,", "public/images"] -exec touch -t 201609080234.52 {} ';'; true
      01 find: `[public/assets,,': No such file or directory
      01 find: `public/images]': No such file or directory

I run find public/assets public/images -exec touch -t 201609080234.52 {} ';'; true on the Ubuntu server and it succeeds.

It seems to be caused by string interpolation with Array

# lib/capistrano/tasks/assets.rake#L15
execute :find, "#{assets} -exec touch -t #{asset_timestamp} {} ';'; true"

As an experiment, could you try

set :normalize_asset_timestamps, %w{public/assets, public/images}.join(' ')

@will-in-wi Yes, it works.

# config/deploy.rb
set :normalize_asset_timestamps, %w{public/assets public/images}.join(' ')

The join method returns a string "public/assets public/images" so it works well with string interpolation.

00:00 deploy:normalize_assets
      01 find public/assets public/images -exec touch -t 201609080445.58 {} ';'; true
