In the error message I see there is a backslash before $HOME in the shell script that is being run:

if test ! -d \$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build; ...

Likely that is the cause of the error. The shell is looking for the literal $HOME path instead of expanding the variable.

This was discussed in #88. Unfortunately, the fix caused other problems and had to be reverted.

I think the workaround is to use ~ instead of $HOME. Can you try that? Something like this:

set :rbenv_path, "~/.rbenv"

Also, my guess is that the escaping behavior changed in sshkit at some point, and that is why your upgrade caused this error to appear. Can you check if the sshkit version changed pre- and post-upgrade?

[keithslater]

Ah yeah I did look at sshkit but running 1.21.2 on both.

I set rbenv_path (with full path) and that did solve it, thanks. I did see that other thread but I think I got confused between rbenv_prefix and rbenv_path. This workaround should be fine for us. Thanks again

Shouldn't you change line 43 to '~/.rbenv' to fix this before closing it? I got bit by this too without any setting for rbenv_path.
