Invoke any rake task on a remote server using capistrano. Installing this gem adds a new capistrano task invoke:rake that will allow you to execute rake tasks remotely. Only supports Capistrano 3 and above.

Add the gem to your Gemfile after setting up Capistrano, preferably in the :development group:

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano',      require: false
  gem 'capistrano-rake', require: false
end

Then bundle and add it to your Capfile:

# Capfile

require 'capistrano/rake'

To execute a rake task on a remote server, you need to pass that task's name to the invoke:rake capistrano task like this:

$ cap stage invoke:rake TASK=some:rake_task

# Examples
$ cap staging    invoke:rake TASK=db:seed
$ cap production invoke:rake TASK=paperclip:refresh

You can optionally specify the capistrano roles for the rake task (Defaults to :app):

# Defaults to [:app]
set :rake_roles, [:db, :app]
