Shell Script step fails with OSX build agent "Input required: cwd"

[dylanberry]

I'm having an issue with a bash shell script failing on my OSX build agent. Here are the logs:

I am absolutely clueless on how to resolve this issue. My script takes no arguments. Can someone help?

[ericsciple]

As a workaround, can you try setting the task input Working Directory under the advanced section for the task inputs.

[dylanberry]

Thanks, that's helpful!

[ericsciple]

Did that workaround your issue? If so, it sounds like something broke for this task running on an xplat agent. I couldn't repro the issue on a Windows agent.

[bryanmacfarlane]

I'll investigate ...

[dylanberry]

Yeah, the workaround allows the bash script to run without issue.

[rusty21]

I just experienced the same issue as Dylan. The work around solved the problem from me as well.

[bryanmacfarlane]

I'll fix this today - fell off my radar

[bryanmacfarlane]

This is fixed in the sprint that will roll out in the next couple of weeks
