Jenkins cannot recognize sh.exe although added to path-CodePudding

I am trying to run a pipeline with sh instead of bat on Windows.

I have added the following paths in the global properties:

C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
C:\Program Files\Git\bin

but it still does not work.

When I run the pipeline, I get the following error message:

[pipeline] sh
/usr/bin/sh: C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe: Command not found
[pipeline] }

Note that the file sh.exe is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Git\bin\

However, if I use a Freestyle project with Execute Shell, it works correctly.

What else can I do to fix the problem?

CodePudding user response：

One thing you can do is to set the path variable when the pipeline is running. So basically you run this batch command within your pipeline:

SET PATH=PATH;"C:\Program Files\Git\bin"

and now, if you were to run sh as a batch command, it should refer to the sh.exe in "C:\Program Files\Git\bin

CodePudding user response：

It turns out that the space in Program Files was the one that was causing problems when trying to run the pipeline. Therefore sh.exe was not found in C:\Program Files\Git\bin\.

So I had to move Git\bin location somewhere else where there are no spaces in the path.
