When setting up the SSH server it is possible to provide a directory location on the remote server (Remote Directory parameter). This parameter is defined as "The base directory for this configuration." yet when an Exec command is performed, it is NOT run in this directory, but at the SSH user's come directory. None of the (?) help or plugin documentation mentions this. I lost a couple of hours trying to decipher why my commands were not being executed thinking it was a cause of my fault.
I love this plugin, but the documentation definitely needs to state that the remote directory is NOT supported for Exec commands (even though exec commands are supported by this plugin configuration) and that you must path to where you want to run your script or execute your command. Why has this been left so obscure? Also, if it is possible to copy files to the Remote Directory, why is it not possible to run exec commands at that directory? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
