Automatically run tests during deployment with capistrano

Question

Is there any way that the capistrano module tests run in my Rails application when cap deploy starts and fails if they fail? I know that this can and should be done by the installer, but I would like it to be automatic. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I ended up using this as a solution.

Answer 1

This capistrano task will run unit tests on the deployed server in production mode:

 desc "Run the full tests on the deployed app." task :run_tests do run "cd #{release_path} && RAILS_ENV=production rake && cat /dev/null > log/test.log" end

This installation will run your tests locally before deployment.

Capistrano task , for example. Library / Capistrano / Tasks / deploy.rake

 namespace :deploy do desc 'Run test suite before deployment' task :test_suite do run_locally do execute :rake, 'test' end end end 

Capistrano configuration, config / deploy.rb

 before 'deploy:starting', 'deploy:test_suite' 

Powered by Capistrano v3.x

Answer 3

configuration / deploy.rb

 # Path of tests to be run, use array with empty string to run all tests set :tests, [''] namespace :deploy do desc "Runs test before deploying, can't deploy unless they pass" task :run_tests do test_log = "log/capistrano.test.log" tests = fetch(:tests) tests.each do |test| puts "--> Running tests: '#{test}', please wait ..." unless system "bundle exec rspec #{test} > #{test_log} 2>&1" puts "--> Aborting deployment! One or more tests in '#{test}' failed. Results in: #{test_log}" exit; end puts "--> '#{test}' passed" end puts "--> All tests passed, continuing deployment" system "rm #{test_log}" end # Only allow a deploy with passing tests to be deployed before :deploy, "deploy:run_tests" end 

Run it with

 cap production deploy:run_tests
