SUMMARY

Unable to run an action implemented by bin/tcsh (default bash in machine is tcsh),
Feature request to specify default shell env as a parameter

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

STACKSTORM VERSION

• st2 2.8.1, on Python 2.7.6

OS / ENVIRONMENT / INSTALL METHOD

• Docker

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

st2 run core.remote cmd=whoami hosts=machinename username=user password=password

EXPECTED RESULTS

Should have shown the result for whoami, as works with root where deafult bash env is /bin/bash

ACTUAL RESULTS

id: 5b73712822156301b4c37a24
status: failed
parameters:
cmd: whoami
hosts: mahinename
password: '********'
username: user
result:
machinename:
failed: true
return_code: 1
stderr: 'export: Command not found.'
stdout: ''
succeeded: false

Not able to run the bash command, because the shell env is bin/tcsh
Could a feature be added to specify the shell env??? would be great help.
Thank you

Right now we only officially support bash.

We have no ETA for tcsh / other shell support at the moment, so a possible workaround for you would be to install bash on your end host / container (if possible).

EDIT: It looks like bash is already available in that container. So a possible workaround would be to change shell for that user to /bin/bash.

Just to make it explicit: StackStorm does not currently support the csh, tcsh, ksh, or fish shells.

It might work for zsh shells, but only because zsh is largely backwards compatible with bash. There is absolutely no guarantee that StackStorm will work with zsh. We do not know if it will work with zsh, and we do not run our tests with zsh. If you use zsh you are on your own.
