No matter how my deployment roles lay out for production and staging, I always have one or two environments (development, and occasionally a demo server) that put all the roles on a single instance. In those cases, roles are effectively meaningless.
Initially I would handle those situations by writing conditionals in my rake tasks that look like this...
...but that exposes WhiskeyDisk internals within my rake tasks. The conditionals also get a bit uglier when trying to watch for interesting file changes...
So I added some helpers that encapsulate the notion, "Is this a deployment without any roles at all?"
no_roles?
returns true if theENV['WD_ROLES']
definition is empty.nothing_or_role?(role)
returns true if the current deployment has the specified role, or if theENV['WD_ROLES']
definition is empty.
