Transaction

Definition

Transaction (&block)

Module

Capistrano::Configuration::Execution

File

capistrano/configuration/execution.rb

Invoke a set of tasks in a transaction within a task. If any task fails (raises an exception), all tasks executed within the transaction are inspected to see if they have an associated on_rollback hook, and if so, that hook is called.

 transaction do
   update_code
   symlink
 end

In the example above, if either update_code or symlink fail, on_rollback hooks within and prior to the task which failed will be called.
