Capfire

Inspired by http://github.com/blog/609-tracking-deploys-with-compare-view we , http://10to1.be, wanted the same for our deploys without having to copy paste each deploy script.

This gem adds a way to send a message to campfire after a deploy, in the message is the app-name, the github-compare view url and the deployer.

Install

gem install capfire

Now either the generator: script/generate capfire -k "campfire_token" -r "chat_room" -a "campfire_account" This will create a ~/.campfire file and add a line to your config/deploy.rb file.

Or do it by hand: In your config/deploy.rb append require capfire/capistrano, in your home folder create .campfire with the following contents

campfire: account: your_campfire_account token: your_campfire_token room: the_campfire_chatroom_to_post in message: "I (#deployer#) deployed #application# with `cap #args# (#compare_url#)"

From now on your deploys will send a message to Campfire containing the Github-compare view url.

Multiple Projects

Either run the generator (without options since you've arleady got a ~/.campfire file it won't complain) again or append by hand the require capfire/capistrano line to your deploy file.

Usage

After the install you're done. Really, do a cap deploy and it should post to campfire.

If anoyone on the project doesn't have Capfire installed he won't notice a difference, no message will be sent.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
