Could it be that expect is not in the PATH that the STAF process's environment has defined? I ran into this issue while testing and fixed it by editing the /usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.sh to include my product's binary directory in the PATH. It could be that expect is in the target machine's login profile PATH env var but not in STAF's env var...

Subject: [staf-users] Can not run expect using STAF automation
Hello every body,
I just subscribed to this mailing list, not sure if it is working properly
or not..
I am using STAF for the automation infrastructure and using expect for more
interactive automation.
On a Linux server I have written an expect script to automate installation
of our product and its working fine. But when I use STAF from a remote
machine, it won’t work. Other shell commands work fine (like dir, chmod,
….) but running expect <filename> does not work. Was wondering if anyone
knows why. It simply executes the command and nothing happens.
I put my expect command in a shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
expect /usr/local/expect/expect-5.43/testsuite/expect.tests/apinstfinal.exp
/usr/local/expect/expect-5.43/testsuite/expect.tests/installinput.txt
and called it expstart.sh
and on the target machine when I do ./expstart.sh, it runs it and works
just fine.
But when I use STAF command:
‘start shell command
“/usr/local/expect/expect-5.43/testsuite/expect.tests/expstart.sh” WAIT’
It won’t work.
I then created another shell file called dirh.sh and put a simple dir in
that shell file and redirected output to some file like t4.out, it works
fine, like below:
‘start shell command
“/usr/local/expect/expect-5.43/testsuite/expect.tests/dirh.sh
>/root/t4.out” WAIT’
But when shell file has expect, it won’t work.
(I also put >/root/t3.out ) in shell command for the expect shell scrip to
capture the output, and it comes up empty.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Farhad
