Hey Guys,
I am trying to run some basic commands through remote SSH and I just get:
An unexpected error occured : System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at VSoft.FinalBuilder.SSH.InteractiveClient.Send(String command)
at VSoft.FinalBuilder.SSH.ActionExecuteCommand.OnExecute()
at VSoft.FinalBuilder.SSH.ActionBase.Execute()
at VSoft.CustomActionApi.BaseAction.ExecuteWrapper(ICustomActionExecuteContext Context, ExecuteDelegate Target)
The commands are nothing crazy:
Pkill python.exe
a change directory
and an execution of python
Any idea why the first step gives me this error?
I am using an SSH open connection with a timeout of 100,000 ms which should be more than enough time. All of the settings to the server are correct and working fine when done manually. Let me know what you guys come up with thanks!
Basically the finalbuilder action list is:
SSH Open Connection: Remote Server
SSH Execute: pkill python.exe
(Errors while attempting second action)

Hi
You haven’t given us anywhere near enough information to work with. Which version of FinalBuilder? Which Server operating system/version/ssh server? How did you start the project (Run, Run Selected etc)? Without that the chances of us being able to reproduce the problem are very low.

The version of finalbuilder is 7.0.0.1442, On my local machine I’m running win 7 32 bit and the remote system is running solarisX86 - We normally run Putty for all of our SSH needs but were using the SSH Execute etc to try and replace that instead.
I tried with run parent (And children) and run selected. Both produced the same error.

We don’t have a solaris machine to test with here at this time. Can you send your project file to support at finalbuilder dot com so we can at least make sure we are testing the same set of actions. I see if we can get a solarus virtual machine up and running, although from my quick look that may be a problem (we use hyper-v).
