How can I run rake with --trace within capistrano?

Question

I want capistrano to invoke rake with --trace so I can figure out why it\'s failing. How do I do this? set :rake \'rake --trace\' doesn\'t work.

Answer 1

The best way I found is:

set :rake, "#{rake} --trace"

This way you don't overwrite the rake variable.

For example if you use bundler this is set before to:

"bundle exec rake"

and after to:

"bundle exec rake --trace"
