Problems with buildbot shell command : Adding single quotes to last argc argument

Question

I am running buildbot v0.8.9 and encountering a really weird problem.

I try to change the access permissions of exe files and runs into troubles.

Here is the code I first wrote :

ShellCommand(command=["chmod", "u+rwx , "*.exe"],workdir="myWorkDir",descriptionDone=["Changing permission access"])

This result in :

chmod u+rwx '*.exe'

After I read that article which seemed to be what I wanted, but after following it and doing :

ShellCommand(command=["sh", "chmod u+rwx *.exe"],workdir="myWorkDir",descriptionDone=["Changing permission access"])

I got this :

sh 'chmod u+rwx *.exe'

So the problem of the last argument single quoted is still there.

Answer 1

I finally found the response, reading the article I linked again since I had to do something else kind of related to that issue :

I wanted to use the "-c" argument, and I was missing it on my 2nd attempt.

So here is the correct code :

ShellCommand(command=["sh", "-c", "chmod u+rwx *.exe"],workdir="myWorkDir",descriptionDone=["Changing permission access"])
