Deployment with Chef - deployment

Question

I am using the chef resource "deploy_revision" to deploy a python code on my nodes. I started this initially for a dev environment but now slowly there is a need for this to expand and i am not sure - if this is a good choice. Below is the code.
data_bag = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load("#{node.chef_environment}", "#{node.chef_environment}")
deploy_revision "/opt/mount/#{node[:application_name]}" do
repo "#{node[:application_repo]}"
user "deployer"
keep_releases 10
action :deploy
migrate false
symlink_before_migrate.clear
create_dirs_before_symlink
purge_before_symlink.clear
symlinks.clear
symlinks {}
notifies :restart, "service[abc]"
end
This pulls down the new code whenever there is one, during the automatic chef-run every 30mins on the nodes. This is cool but not so cool in other nodes which are not a part of the development environment. I have 4 environments:
dev
test
stage
prod
If i create 4 remote branches on the git, Is there a way on how to make this deploy from specific branch on specific environments? Something like, the dev nodes deploy the dev remote branch, test deploys the test remote branch and so on.. This way, i can put a gate on the auto deploys that happening every 30mins. i referred the chef docs, there is this "deploy_branch" but i not sure it just says its the same as "deploy_revision".
https://docs.chef.io/resource_deploy.html#layout-modifiers
There is an attribute branch available as per the chef document. So adding the attribute like is what i need?
deploy_revision "/opt/mount/#{node[:application_name]}" do
repo "#{node[:application_repo]}"
user "deployer"
branch "node.chef_environment"
keep_releases 10
action :deploy
migrate false
symlink_before_migrate.clear
create_dirs_before_symlink
purge_before_symlink.clear
symlinks.clear
symlinks {}
notifies :restart, "service[abc]"
end
Then, i came across this bug report (closed): https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5084. It seems to be specifying branches with the attribute, "revision". So, can i use this attribute with the node environment as the parameter? Like this
revision "node.chef_environments"
If you guys, think deployment using chef is not a good idea. Do you think- i should look out for Capistrano?

Answer 1

we do this all the time. Just add:
deploy_revision '/path' do
...
revision node['chef_environment']
...
end
Or in our case, we calculate the branch from the chef_environment
deploy_revision '/path' do
...
revision node['chef_environment'].match(/develop|staging|production|test/)[0]
...
end

Answer 2

This is how it worked for me.
deploy_revision "/opt/mount/#{node[:application_name]}" do
repo "#{node[:application_repo]}"
user "deployer"
revision node.chef_environment
keep_releases 10
action :deploy
migrate false
symlink_before_migrate.clear
create_dirs_before_symlink
purge_before_symlink.clear
symlinks.clear
symlinks {}
notifies :restart, "service[abc]"
end
