Hello there,

I'm using Capistrano for production deployment, getting below error when I try to deploy my rails 7 application to DigitalOcean server.

If you SSH to the server, can you run the 'yarn' command?
Is yarn installed on the server?

Because of this error:
jsbundling-rails: Command build failed, ensure yarn is installed and yarn build runs without errors

The yarn is installed in the server.

Correct me if I’m wrong, the yarn build can be run in the application current folder. Because this is first deployment the folder will not get created until the successful deployment.

Have you tried becoming the 'deploy' user on your server and run the commands from there?
On the server, do su deploy and then do
$HOME/.rbenv/bin/rbenv exec bundle exec rake assets:precompile
Do you then get errors?

I'm getting the below error message

Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory

As I mentioned that I'm using Capistrano gem for production deployment, it will take care of executing the commands.

To help you debug faster, you can pretend that you are Capistrano, so SSH into the server, and run every command that Capistrano would run, in the correct order.

Your latest error suggests you are not in the correct folder on the server, where your project should be. Or that your project does not have a Gemfile, which is needed to install all the dependencies.
