Capistrano - var/www/[app-name]/repo failed build

Question

I'm trying to run my initial cap production deploy script, but it keeps failing. I have repeated this multiple time. The first time fails with:

Directory does not exist 'var/www/[app-name]/repo'

Then I run the same command again and I get:

fatal: destination path 'var/www/[app-name]/repo' already exists and is not an empty directory.

I dug into it and it appears that my structure has become: var/www/[app-name]/var/www/[app-name]/repo

In my deploy.rb

set :use_sudo, false
set :deploy_to, '/app/[app-name]'

Any ideas?

Adding Capistrano::SafeDeployTo do you cap file should resolve this.

Gemfile

gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.2.1'
gem 'capistrano-safe-deploy-to', '~> 1.1.1'

Capfile

require 'capistrano/safe_deploy_to'
