Make remote.cd work

[reaktivo]

How can I make the following work?

plan.remote(function(remote) {
  remote.pwd();
  remote.cd("testfolder");
  remote.pwd();
  remote.git('pull')
  remote.npm('install')
  remote.exec("pm2 reload #{host}")
})

Both calls to pwd() return the same directory.

This is currently not possible since Flightplan uses exec from mscdex/ssh2 to execute commands on remote flights. Even though this library offers the possibility to use an interactive shell, I'd rather stick to the current behavior because commands executed on local flights are non-interactive as well.

Possible solution:

var folder = 'testfolder';
remote.exec('cd ' + folder + ' && git pull');
remote.exec('cd ' + folder + ' && npm install');
// or with prefix: remote.npm('install --prefix ' + folder + ' ' + folder);
