Re: [Fab-user] rvm with local calls

[Jeff Forcier]

IIRC .rvmrc files only get loaded by RVM's overloaded "cd", so you might want to try using e.g.::

    with lcd('mydir'):

        local('stuff using rvm driven rubies or gems')

Which turns into "cd mydir && command".

Unfortunately RVM is a bit "special" re: how it likes to be invoked / related to the shell / etc -- so the above might not suffice in a variety of ways. You might want to experiment with raw subprocess.Popen() instances until you get something that works, then we can help figure out how to make that work in local().

E.g. you may have to use the new shell= kwarg to local(), in case e.g. the default shell subprocess.Popen selects on your system is not your user's login shell and thus isn't even loading up RVM at all. But that's just a guess.

Best,

Jeff

I am making a call to a directory locally that has a .rvmrc file, but it doesn't get picked up and the call fails as it doesn't find the gem since it isn't available in that context.

Is it possible to load rvm somehow?  I'm guessing I will need a 'with' block?
