module Capistrano # This module extends a Rake::Task to freeze it to prevent it from being # enhanced. This is used to prevent users from enhancing a task at the wrong # point of Capistrano's boot process, which can happen if a Capistrano plugin # is loaded in deploy.rb by mistake (instead of in the Capfile). # # Usage: # # task = Rake.application["load:defaults"] # task.invoke # task.extend(Capistrano::ImmutableTask) # prevent further modifications # module ImmutableTask def self.extended(task) task.freeze end def enhance(*args, &block) $stderr.puts <<-MESSAGE ERROR: #{name} has already been invoked and can no longer be modified. Check that you haven't loaded a Capistrano plugin in deploy.rb or a stage (e.g. deploy/production.rb) by mistake. Plugins must be loaded in the Capfile to initialize properly.
