Deploying frontend app static files + Sentry recipe

[franck-grenier]

Hello Deployer,
I have a question about deploying my frontend app static files regarding Sentry releases. I use Deployer 7.5.12.

I generate my Javascript app and then upload only the resulting dist folder. I do not run deploy:update_code. Then, I do not get the Git "archive" repo on the host.

My deploy task looks like that :

task('deploy', [
    'deploy:info',
    'deploy:setup',
    'deploy:lock',
    'deploy:release',
    'dotenv:locally', // it runs locally, not on the target host
    'yarn:build:locally', // it runs locally, not on the target host
    'upload:dist',
    'deploy:shared',
    'deploy:writable',
    'deploy:clear_paths',
    'deploy:symlink',
    'deploy:unlock',
    'deploy:cleanup',
    'deploy:success',
]);

The problem is that the Sentry recipe does not work correctly with this architecture as it runs commands on the host to get revision numbers (previous and current release revisions). And those commands fail as there is no REVISION files in the release folders on my host.

Example of failing command : https://github.com/deployphp/deployer/blob/master/contrib/sentry.php#L193

Would you have any advice on how to handle that ?
