How to execute sh file from jenkins running on windows

Question

Cygwin installed in my windows and able to execute the sh file using cmd prompt. same Cygwin plugin has been installed in jenkins which also running in windows. I created a job in jenkins build step->execute shell command I am giving the command as sh /cygdrive/d/539707/data/getchanges/gymBuild.sh while executing the job I am facing below exception.

NOTE 1: In Jenkins/configuration/ under shell I didn't mention any path

workspace] $ sh -xe D:\539707\tomcat-7.0.12\temp\hudson4624102689815543789.sh FATAL: command execution failed java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "sh" (in directory "C:\Users\539707.jenkins\jobs\Test_Gym\workspace"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1047) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.(Proc.java:244) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.(Proc.java:216) at hudson.Launcher$LocalLauncher.launch(Launcher.java:815) at hudson.plugins.cygpath.CygpathLauncherDecorator$1.launch(CygpathLauncherDecorator.java:66) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.start(Launcher.java:381) at hudson.tasks.CommandInterpreter.perform(CommandInterpreter.java:95) at hudson.tasks.CommandInterpreter.perform(CommandInterpreter.java:64) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepMonitor$1.perform(BuildStepMonitor.java:20) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.perform(AbstractBuild.java:782) at hudson.model.Build$BuildExecution.build(Build.java:205) at hudson.model.Build$BuildExecution.doRun(Build.java:162) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:534) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1738) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:410) Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.(ProcessImpl.java:385) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:136) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1028) ... 16 more Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

Finished: FAILURE

NOTE 2: In Jenkins/configuration/ under shell I mention C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe

After that below is the output

$ C:\cygwin\bin\cygpath -w C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe [workspace] $ C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -xe D:\539707\tomcat-7.0.12\temp\hudson4745164988293910592.sh /usr/bin/mintty: unknown option '-x' Try '--help' for more information. Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

Finished: FAILURE

Kindly suggest How to execute sh file from jenkins running on windows

Solution 1

here is the solution: Shell executable path to cygwin_home\bin\sh and in jenkins build step->execute shell command give the file name ex *.sh or clear Shell executable path and in jenkins build step->execute windows batch command sh path*.sh

Solution 2

For each windows slave you can do the following to add cygwin to path assuming that your slave has cygwin installed already

• Jenkins - Manage Jenkins - Manage Nodes
• node - Configure
• Environment variables : list of key-value pairs
• add: name: PATH value: ${PATH};path-to-cygwin\bin

E.g., name: PATH value: ${PATH};d:\tools\cygwin\bin

Nope I'm wrong. One node does this and another fails. The only way that I know to make this work is: modify system env to include cygwin/bin on path, restart box to ensure system user which executes services takes the change
