Capistrano: Dump and clone to local database
# Directly copied from eycap-0.5.2 (thanks!)
#
# With these tasks you can:
# - dump your production database and save it in shared_path/db_backups
# - dump your production into your local database (clone_to_local)
#
# Tested and fixed by fjguzman

Heroku, Ruby on Rails and PhantomJS

#Heroku, Ruby on Rails and PhantomJS

In this post, I’m going to show you how to modify an existing Ruby on Rails app running on Heroku’s Cedar stack to use PhantomJS for screen scraping. If you’ve never heard of PhantomJS, it’s a command-line WebKit-based browser (that supports JavaScript, cookies, etc.).

Let’s get started. This is a high-level overview of the required steps:

  • Modify your app to use multiple Heroku buildpacks.
  • Extend your app to use both the Ruby as well as the PhantomJS buildpacks.
  • Confirm that everything worked.
# lib/capistrano/tasks/assets.rake
Rake::Task['deploy:assets:precompile'].clear
namespace :deploy do
namespace :assets do
desc 'Precompile assets locally and then rsync to remote servers'
task :precompile do
local_manifest_path = %x{ls public/assets/manifest*}.strip
