Why am I getting this error when I try to run a powershell inline command from a task

[Hector Magnanao]

Failing task since return code of [powershell -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Command D:\bamboo-agent-home\temp\ID-TP-JOB1-43-ScriptBuildTask-8107624322901345428.ps1] was -1 while expected 0

Hi Hector,

this can be lots of things.

Is the Script task running as PowerShell executed on Bamboo Server or a remote / an elastic agent? That helps checking for errors or KBs. For remote agent there exist some bugs.

As who so under what permission is your PowerShell script running. E.g. the following bug is for a remote Windows agent running a PS script - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14097. It needs to be run there as administrator from your Basmboo plan or fails.

So, I'd suggest to either google with more details or provide your details, so Community can help you better.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers, Gerhard
