Engine Yard Serverside Gem Upgrades During a Deploy

It is possible for the engineyard-serverside gem to force an upgrade during a deploy, if you are using the Engine Yard Cloud dashboard.

Although this rarely occurs since the engineyard-serverside gem is backward compatible, if a bug is introduced, the updated gem can prevent you from deploying your application.

Workaround

If you are unable to deploy from the dashboard, it might be due to a bug in the version of engineyard-serverside that the dashboard is using. Try to deploy from the command line instead.

A command line deploy automatically changes the the version of engineyard-serverside on your instance to match the version you are using locally.

For more information on how to deploy from the command line, see Deploy From the CLI.
