Cannot use `RemoteCommand` in ~/.ssh/config, error: Cannot execute command-line and remote command.

[ElijahLynn]

I use RemoteCommand in my SSH config to become another user immediately after login with my user.

e.g. RemoteCommand sudo su - <target-user>

And I have different users for different hosts.

With Warp, I get the error Cannot execute command-line and remote command.. So it seems like Warp may be using it's own RemoteCommand in the wrapper. This works fine if I turn the wrapper off. If this is the case, maybe there is a way to combine the two?

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

An example from my ${HOME}/.ssh/config on my macbook:

Host my_cluster
  HostName X.XX.XX.XX
  User nickyoungblut
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  RequestTTY yes
  RemoteCommand sh_dev --mem 8G --cpus-per-task 8

I need to use this command to start interactive jobs on this SLURM cluster. If I cannot run ssh my_cluster, then I can't use Warp 😞

We need a bit more information before we can continue triaging this issue.

If you're still hitting this, could you try reproducing it on the latest version of Warp and share logs along with a screenshot or short video if possible?

If there's no activity after 3 business days, we'll close this out to help keep the tracker tidy.
