Bugs related to provision:website

[midhunmonachan]

I repeatedly encountered this error while running provision with deployer v7.4.0 on a clean Ubuntu 20.04 installation

> task provision:website
[beta.midhun.ca]  ErrorException  in website.php on line 26:
[beta.midhun.ca]
[beta.midhun.ca]   file_get_contents(./Caddyfile): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
[beta.midhun.ca]
ERROR: Task provision:website failed!

I managed to fix it by:

1. Adding _DIR_ to file reference resulting in file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/Caddyfile')
2. Adding Caddyfile to the build

echo "Add file: /Caddyfile\n";
$phar->addFile(realpath(__DIR__ . '/../recipe/provision/Caddyfile'), '/recipe/provision/Caddyfile');

Then i encountered another error:

> task provision:website
[beta.midhun.ca]  error  in website.php on line 17:
[beta.midhun.ca] run realpath /var/www/somehostname
[beta.midhun.ca] err realpath: /var/www/somehostname: No such file or directory
[beta.midhun.ca] exit code 1 (General error)
ERROR: Task provision:website failed!

This is where the error happened:

set('deploy_path', run("realpath {{deploy_path}}"));

run("[ -d {{deploy_path}} ] || mkdir -p {{deploy_path}}");
run("chown -R deployer:deployer {{deploy_path}}");

Upon further testing, this happens when /var/www directory is not present.

So if the parent directory of the deploy_path is absent, this error occurs.

I moved set('deploy_path', run("realpath {{deploy_path}}")); after run("[ -d {{deploy_path}} ] || mkdir -p {{deploy_path}}"); to make sure realpath runs after creating the directory

It seems like code sequence got mixed up when looking at the source provision:website in recipe/provision/website.php.

These fixes the issues i had. I'm working on a PR.

I'm trying to provision a clean server in Hetzner Cloud (CCX13 - dedicated 2 vCPU 8GB RAM) with the Laravel recipe. I got an error; I tried several times with different PHP versions and removed and created the server.

The error is the following:

[servername]  ErrorException  in website.php on line 24:
[servername]
[servername]   file_get_contents(./Caddyfile): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
[servername]
ERROR: Task provision:website failed!

The deploy.yaml file:

import:
  - recipe/laravel.php

config:
  repository: 'git@github.com:XXX/xxx'

hosts:
  servername:
    remote_user: deployer
    deploy_path: '/var/www/my-project'

tasks:
  build:
    - run: uptime

after:
  deploy:failed: deploy:unlock
```</div>
