I am using Capistrano 3 and I am linking the .env file between releases

set :linked_files, fetch(:linked_files, []).push('.env',...)

Then in my deploy files I am using the gem

Capistrano::Env.use do |env|
  env.add ...
  env.formatter = :dotenv
end

This still causes an error on the first deployment, complaining that .env is missing.

ERROR linked file /var/www/myWebsite-test/shared/.env does not exist on

(I want to allow a user to modify the .env file manually, but still synchronize new variables that would be added later during dev)

Hey , Im hoping you can help.

I am showing in my cap log

INFO [30efeaf1] Finished in 0.070 seconds with exit status 0 (successful).
DEBUG Uploading /var/www/RAILS_PROJECT/releases/20151202184405/.env 0.0%
INFO Uploading /var/www/RAILS_PROJECT/releases/20151202184405/.env 100.0%

that my .env file is being loaded.... yet, when I ssh into the server, I cant find it.

thoughts?
