When trying to deploy with Capistrano 3.0.1 I get the following error:

cap aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'starting'

This seems to have started when I uncommented the require rows for loading assets and performing migrations in the Capfile:

  # Load DSL and Setup Up Stages
  require 'capistrano/setup'

  # Includes tasks from other gems included in your Gemfile
  #
  # require 'capistrano/rvm'
  # require 'capistrano/rbenv'
  # require 'capistrano/chruby'
  # require 'capistrano/bundler'
  require 'capistrano/rails/assets'
  require 'capistrano/rails/migrations'

  # Loads custom tasks from `lib/capistrano/tasks' if you have any defined.
  Dir.glob('lib/capistrano/tasks/*.cap').each { |r| import r }

and adding the gems to the Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano',  '~> 3.0.0'
gem 'capistrano-rails', '~> 1.1.0'

It's like the required assets are loaded before the default capistrano tasks so they fail because a the time of loading the starting is not yet defined. I'm not sure how to fix this,

any idea?

thanks

"Don't know how to build task" errors can be caused by having the 'require' lines in the wrong order in the Capfile.
