Hi there before all thanks fot the amazing work that you already done

Is only one thing that keep make me noise when I use Ansible, normally I use RVM to handle different versions of ruby and every time that i need to run a simple bundle to install al the gems from every app I get struggled with it

failed: [ingenyo] =\> {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “bundle”, “delta”: “0:00:00.002008”, “end”: “2015-05-02 16:08:49.070874”, “rc”: 127, “start”: “2015-05-02 16:08:49.068866”, “warnings”: }  
stderr: /bin/sh: 1: bundle: not found  
FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

I know that is because is a login shell command and ansible don’t use that, but how is the Pretty way to fix that problems? I’m down to help in anything that is necessary for that

here my 2 playbooks!

Are you sure you already have bundler installed when you execute this? This error shows that it’s not found on remote host.

Another thing that might create you further issues: you suppose you need an argument to “bundle”, e.g. “bundle install” (no quotes).

The backslash before curl – why do you need that?

I think latest apt syntax requires “state=present” (no quotes)

same here (“state=present”)

**Yes bundle is installed you can see that in the “- name: Installing rvm ruby and rails take 16m5.124s up to your internet conection” is part of rails and rails is installed to**  
**To make it work i use the HORRIBLE thing like that: because how i said is inside of RVM(login shell) and i use wrapper to access it**

**that way my question “how is the Pretty way to fix that problems?” I would like to create the login shell and say bundle install**

**- name: bundle install (install the rest of the gems)**  
**shell: /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/bundle**  
**chdir={{app\_path}}**  
**sudo: false**

**No. Not really u dont need with just bundle is enough, i do it work but in a HORRIBLE way, that way my question “how is the Pretty way to fix that problems?”**

**I know that it works with out it but for some reason is included in the official documentation can you check here [https://rvm.io/rvm/install](https://rvm.io/rvm/install)**

Hello,

if you have access to private Debian repositories I would suggest to leave the git clone and bundler part to some ci server and create a deb package from you application using fpm as packaging tool.

Use bundle install with a local vendor path, this way all gems are installed in you application directory.

It will heavily reduce your 16 minutes deployment. And you may have to install less dev packages in production…

Regards,  
Marcus

Thanks, is a good idea, i’ll test it  
by the way i still interesting in how to write that feature in ansible, because i use ansible tu update my app and to run the different commands like rake: db:migrate or rake assets:precompile

But your idea for the deploy sounds good

Ivan, I have difficulties understanding you, so can you please help me clarify the issue (if it is still relevant):

1. Can you confirm that your primary issue is running bundle to install rails app dependencies?

2. Can you confirm that you now solve the issue via creating a wrapper script located at **/usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/bundle** , that actually does the bundle invocation? If so, can you please paste it here (consider removing sensitive information first)?

Thanks,  
-Y.

Hi Yassen. I already solved it with that wrapper  
Code:

- name: bundle install (install the rest of the gems)  
shell: /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/bundle  
chdir={{rails\_app\_path}}  
sudo: false

I just want to know how is the proper way to use ansible in this case, would be nice that ansible can just detect the shell login on chdir={{rails\_app\_path}}, let me do just **bundle**

**(if a go by ssh to the server and run just bundle that works, why ansible cant do that?)**

Thanks for you time and your answers 🙂

never mind , is working i just want to know if is a proper way to write that…  
i dont like to write the full path of bundle, because each app will have a different one (that way i use RVM), i want to write something generic
