I've set a Jenkins server running on Red Hat up with a windows agent via ssh. (Openssh installed via Cygwin https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/preinstall_req_cygwin_ssh.htm#EMBSC152)
I set the PATH on the windows machine itself, and also set it on Cygwin and in an ssh session from the same user via this command:
export "PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Git/cmd"
After this I can use git commands but if I exit the ssh session and re-ssh to the box on the same user that Jenkins authenticates through I'm still having trouble on the git step:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git" (in directory "\cygdrive\c\me\workspace\App"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
I then tried adding that command in a shell script build step before git is called using this plugin: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/pre-scm-buildstep
Then I tried adding the PATH to the bashrc file for the user Jenkins is logging in as. Now I can re-ssh to the box and git commands work but Jenkins is still getting the same error. What can I do?
Here's part of a log of the Jenkins build. I'm echoing the path right before git is called:
