How to set environment variables in Capistrano 3?

Question

In Capistrano 2, you can do something like this:

set :default_environment, { 'PATH' => 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/bin' } 

Is there an equivalent in cap 3?

Answer 1

using:

 set :default_env, { 'PATH' => 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/bin' } 

at least capistrano 3.1

Answer 2

Perhaps a little late, but ...

Capistrano 3 uses specia syntax for the environment

 on roles :app do with some_env: "foobar" do ... end end 

In the above example, inside the block with / end capistrano sets the environment variable SOME_ENV to "foobar"
