(File.CopyError) could not copy from ...no such file or directory

[SethArchambault]

I'm trying to deploy an app for the first time, and I've been following the instructions in the readme, but when I run sudo mix gatling.deploy hello_phoenix

I get this error:

==> Assembling release..
==> Building release hello_phoenix:0.0.1 using environment prod
==> Including ERTS 8.2 from /usr/lib/erlang/erts-8.2
==> Packaging release..
==> Release successfully built!
    You can run it in one of the following ways:
      Interactive: _build/prod/rel/hello_phoenix/bin/hello_phoenix console
      Foreground: _build/prod/rel/hello_phoenix/bin/hello_phoenix foreground
      Daemon: _build/prod/rel/hello_phoenix/bin/hello_phoenix start
** (File.CopyError) could not copy from "/home/seth/hello_phoenix/rel/hello_phoenix/releases/0.0.1/hello_phoenix.tar.gz" to "/home/seth/deployments/hello_phoenix/hello_phoenix.tar.gz": no such file or directory

    (mix) lib/mix/task.ex:294: Mix.Task.run_task/3
    (mix) lib/mix/cli.ex:58: Mix.CLI.run_task/2

Note, the file it's looking for exists in ~/hello_phoenix/_build/prod/rel/hello_phoenix/releases/0.0.1
but it's looking in ~/hello_phoenix/rel instead.

Any idea why? How do I fix this?

Seth, I think this is a duplicate or very much related to #29. I also hit this today; although I'm using centos so figured it was me. There is also a comment in the tail of #4 about output dir.
I think I've got config blindness, so I'm going to wind it all back and try again. If I find a solution I'll let you know. ~ It's going to be simple I just know it.

So, I tried this, but maybe I didn't. In rel/config.exs add under your prod environment block
set output_dir: "rel/<project_name>"

This is passed to distillery and distillery build to rel and not _build. I'm sure I tried this... ymmv. Of course I hit a road block with update-rc milliseconds later...

We just released v1.1.0 which fixes this problem. See #29.
