Capistrano and Corkscrew PATH error

Question

I'm trying to deploy my Rails application with Capistrano but when it comes to "git ls-remote" i get the following error:

$ /usr/bin/env git ls-remote --heads git@git.<server>:<project>.git
/bin/bash: line 0: exec: corkscrew: not found
DEBUG [a5205e2a]    ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
DEBUG [a5205e2a]    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

If I try to run the command on the server there is no problem. I've also got a deploy ssh key for the "deployer" user in gitlab.

Corkscrew is located under ~/bin/corkscrew and is added to the PATH variable.

$ echo $PATH
/home/deployer/.rbenv/shims:/home/deployer/.rbenv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/deployer/bin

$ corkscrew
corkscrew 2.0 ([email protected])

usage: corkscrew <proxyhost> <proxyport> <desthost> <destport> [authfile]

$ which corkscrew
~/bin/corkscrew

Update:

Here is my ~/.ssh/config:

Host *
  ProxyCommand corkscrew <server> 8088 %h %p ~/.ssh/proxyauth

While the ~/.ssh/proxyauth file contains the credentials of the proxy user.

If you need additional information please let me know.

The problem seems to be that ssh can't find the corkscrew executable. I double-checked my local ~/.ssh/config file, and I use the full path to the corkscrew executable in there:

Host *
  ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/corkscrew <server> 8088 %h %p ~/.ssh/proxyauth

(Since I'm on OS X and have installed corkscrew through Homebrew, it's located in /usr/local/bin.)

Can you try to update your ~/.ssh/config to include the full path to the corkscrew executable? Something like this (I don't know whether the ~ will work, you might have to use the full path if it doesn't):

Host *
  ProxyCommand ~/bin/corkscrew <server> 8088 %h %p ~/.ssh/proxyauth
