Problem with scp-deploy pipe documentation & yaml scheme

[Chris Flora]

The scp-deploy pipe's README.md, as it's first example, shows that the proper format for the EXTRA_ARGS command is a string:

YAML Definition

Add the following snippet to the script section of your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file:

- pipe: atlassian/scp-deploy:1.5.1
  variables:
    USER: '<string>'
    SERVER: '<string>'
    REMOTE_PATH: '<string>'
    LOCAL_PATH: '<string>'
    # SSH_KEY: '<string>' # Optional.
    # EXTRA_ARGS: '<string>' # Optional.

However, the examples further down show the proper syntax, which is an array of strings:

EXTRA_ARGS: ['-o', 'ServerAliveInterval=10']

Further, the yaml schema in vscode expects a string and not an array.  It shows the array as an error:

The array runs perfectly, it just took me a minute to figure it out due to the false flags.  Any way we can get the documentation and the yaml-schema updated?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello, sorry to be a bother but I'd like to submit more that one extra arg and having trouble doing so.

What it's come down to is I'm having trouble connecting to my SSH server and need debugging on as well as the options I'm trying.

I'd like to send these 3 or more Extra args

-vvv [ip address]

-o IPQoS=none

-o ControlMaster=auto

[Chris Flora]

From what I understand, you should have a new string in the args array anywhere that you have a space in the scp command.  So for "-vvv -o IPQoS=none -o ControlMaster=auto", your options array should look like:

EXTRA_ARGS: ["-vvv", "-o", "IPQoS=none", "-o", "ControlMaster=auto"]

I'm not sure why you have the ip address after the -vvv, since the verbose option doesn't take a parameter.
