Some commands don't work

[ClassyCircuit]

err: bash: -c: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
2020/02/09 17:57:24 Process exited with status 1
err: bash: -c: line 3: `sudo rm -r /usr/dotnetapps/bugsincluded/!(*.db*)'

This is a valid linux command that removes all files and folders that don't match the pattern, it works when I run it manually on my server, but it doesn't work using this ssh-action tool.

Another approach is to put your command into the shell script file and execute sh xxxx.sh.

Another approach is to put your command into the shell script file and execute sh xxxx.sh.

The shell script is being able to run node js or npm commands. How can they be executed? Tried loading . /etc/profile in the shell script.

Any suggestions?

      - name: Executing remote command
        uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v0.1.2
        with:
          host: ${{ secrets.hosts }}
          USERNAME: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
          PORT: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
          KEY: ${{ secrets.SSHKEY }}
          script: sh ../../scripts/deploy.sh

If we try to execute sh ../../scripts/deploy.sh wouldn't it will try running inside the server where we're trying SSH into.

I think it will try to execute inside the vps you're trying to ssh into. You could use run instead like this

- name: Executing remote command
        uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v0.1.2
        run: sh ../../scripts/deploy.sh
        with:
          host: ${{ secrets.hosts }}
          USERNAME: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
          PORT: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
          KEY: ${{ secrets.SSHKEY }}

I think that should work

[mittalyashu]

@mojo706 It shows an error:

a step cannot have both the `uses` and `run` keys

@mittalyashu could you show me your whole discord job?

@mittalyashu try that

[mittalyashu]

Isn't it the exact same code which I have shared.

[mojo706]

Lol shit I forgot to change it. I guess I was tired, I wanted you to add run under uses it should work now.

[mittalyashu]

You mean something like this?

- name: Executing remote command
  uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v0.1.2
  run: echo "Running this in GitHub Action"
  env:
    BACKEND_APP_PORT: 8080
    NODE_ENV: "production"
  with:
    host: ${{ secrets.IP }}
    USERNAME: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
    PORT: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
    KEY: ${{ secrets.SSHKEY }}
    envs: BACKEND_APP_PORT, NODE_ENV
    script: ls
