- FinalBuilder Version: 7.0.0.3319
- Windows Version: Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
- Linux Version: CentOS 6.4
I have an SSH execute command action that execute perl script on CentOS Linux server. The perl script returned with exit code 0 when successful and other positive integers when error occurs.
Hence I configured the action with Expected Exit Status = 0 and Fail on Unexpected Status = True.
However when the script returns 1 or other integers the action still considered as successful.
I can see in the log a line reporting the exit status and the last line says :Attempting to get exit code of last command."
Looks like a bug to me, the "Fail on Unexpected Status" option doesn't seem to be doing what it says it should. Although I noticed that this option is not explained in the Help guide.

We’ll look into this, I know when Jason was working on this a while back it’s not easy to achieve but it was working. What shell did you specify on the action?

Hi Vincent,
I tried running perl and shell script, both same behavior. Just have a single line with exit code other than 0 in the script. The command is always considered as exit with 0.

On your SSH Connect action, what shell type is selected?

Hi Vincent,

Hi Freji,
Would you be able to send us a short Perl script which simulates the returning of the exit code of 1. The reason I ask for this is to confirm that I am testing exactly what your experiencing.
Thank you.

Hi Jason,
The perl script contains only the following lines:
--------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print “test run\n”;
exit 1;
--------------------------------------
