rubber:create not working about rubber

[kevwil]

I'm not sure if I'm having the same issue or not. I get "rubber:_get_ip" calls over and over, with "failed to connect to <alias_name>" errors every time. The instance is running and the IP looks right.

There is a problem somewhere in the guts of capistrano/net-ssh that causes intermittent hangs of the initial connect. I need to try and find a workaround in the code, maybe by using Timeout or something - the problem is, due to its intermittent nature, I have trouble duplicating it reliably enough to track it down or test a fix. Currently the only way around it is as you said, ctrl-c and refresh.

Kevwil, you aren't having the same problem - sounds like you are just not able to connect via ssh - if you were having the same problem, it wouldn't keep retrying with output to the screen, it would just sit there hung.

@wr0ngway Could you point me in the right direction of where to look in Rubber? I might take a closer look and maybe formulate a test or even a fix.

Try lib/rubber/recipes/rubber/instances.rb:refresh_instance (Called by create_instance). The enable_root_ssh is the first ssh connection made, and thats where the problem lies

Strangest thing; when using rubber with a rails-3.0rc app, I do not have this connection issue at all. Just my $0.02

added in timeout just in case in 1.5.8, but I also haven't seen it lately
