Capistrano does not obey "in release_path"

I have this task:

namespace :custom do
  desc "create a symlink to db config already on the server"
  task :symlink_db_config do
    on roles(:web) do
      within release_path do
        execute "pwd"
      end

      within release_path do
        execute "ln -nfs /home/blog/config/database.yml ./database.yml"
      end
    end
  end
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

For some reason, the command is pwd

preceded cd

by a release path, but the command is ln

missing. Why is this?

Here's the output showing above:

//And now here the `ln`... but where is the `cd`?  I said `within release_path`, didn't I?

So mine ln

is failing because it is not in the correct directory. Why was there no capistrano in the release directory cd

as I said?

(Capistrano 3.2.1, by the way)
