jlpinardon edited a comment on JENKINS-57765   Re: No output returned from sshCommand Hello, Well, I really don't understand how you can consider this as not problematic. It is really a pain indeed ! Let's consider a user who wants to make some quick trials, or even a user who tries to avoid using a shell step with some more or less complex script to simply test a ssh connection. He finds the sshCommand and thinks ok, great ! I found what I need ! I have a simple way of testing, enclosing the sshCommand within a try / catch and calling a simple uname or ls command. ... But he is totally disappointed because ... ok, there is no problem. It seems to work, but he is not sure because he has no output. And he need the output fir this or that reason because he wants to check something. That's my use case... even worst in fact. Because my organisation wants to set a bunch of test cases to validate the ssh step in order to be sure it can be used it in production, and later on to have some regression tests when upgrading jenkins and plugins. And at the first trial, I fall into this trap. _How can I say to people supporting Jenkins... hey men, that's OK. It works as a charm and everybody can use it with no worries !_ So, no, it is not a cosmetic problem. It is a real one because it is more or less related to some unpredictable response time. I am not sure if 5 sec is enough. Perhaps it is less (and I loose time) perhaps it is more, and I both loose information and fail a test which is actually a success. Besides, it transfers the responsibility of ensuring the complete achievement of the step to the caller. I cannot really consider this as a normal situation. So, please, could you consider again this as bug to fix ? Thanks for your help.
