ssh task configuration gives error while running powershell script.

[Mahesh]

Hi,

I am using ssh task configuration for running my script which will install exe file.

I am able to run the scripts locally/manually in the remote server. But from Bamboo I am seeing failures.

Command for local and bamboo : powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "app-install.ps1"

Error :

Hi @Mahesh 

I'm not sure whether this line blocks this 

Can't propagate "bamboo_*" environment variables.

But you can enable your remote host to accept the variables by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. This is the procedure.

Have you tried to manually ssh into the remote but from the Bamboo agent machine? And with the user running your agent.
For me this is always the first step in troubleshooting these kinds of issues.

Hi @Charlie Misonne , Thanks for your reply !!.
Yes I am able to do ssh to the remote agent from Bamboo build agent using the user which I am mentioning in the task.

Also the remote agent is windows machine so, sshd_config is not there.

And that warning will not harm i feel.

[Charlie Misonne]

Well the sshd_config  should be adapted on your target machine, not on the Bamboo machine agent machine.
I asumme your target is Linux?

Any chance your app-install script is able to log more verbose output to pinpoint the issue?

[Mahesh]

No My target is windows.
