Can't use SSH with Powershell #4682

kuzi-moto · 2020-02-21T17:10:20Z

Environment

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0

Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433.0

Steps to reproduce

Open Windows Terminal Preview
Run ssh

Expected behavior

usage: ssh [-46AaCfGgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-B bind_interface]
           [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port]
           [-E log_file] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11]
           [-i identity_file] [-J [user@]host[:port]] [-L address]
           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
           [-Q query_option] [-R address] [-S ctl_path] [-W host:port]
           [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] destination [command]

Actual behavior

ssh : The term 'ssh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ ssh
+ ~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (ssh:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Additional Information

Something that's interesting, is that I can't even view the OpenSSH directory...

PS C:\Users\kuzi-moto> Get-Item "C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH"
Get-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH' because it does not exist.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-Item "C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH:String) [Get-Item], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand

But when using a normal PowerShell prompt, works just fine:

PS C:\Users\kuzi-moto> Get-Item "C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH"


    Directory: C:\Windows\System32


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
d-----        3/19/2019   1:21 AM                OpenSSH

Already installed!

This sounds a lot like x86/x64/System32/SysWOW trickery. @kuzi-moto do you know what architecture you're running on your PC?

This sounds a lot like how when I run Terminal from VS after building it, it can't find WSL on the path (because it's not 32-bit), but running it normally, WSL works fine.

Are you running something like:
C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe

or

C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe

PS C:\Users\kuzi-moto> $ENV:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
AMD64

or

C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe

Looks like my standard PowerShell prompt runs from %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe. I opened the one from the SysWOW64 directory, and it is has the same issue with SSH as well.

That's really unusual. From inside WT, can you also share $env:PATH?

C:\Windows\system32\openssh is definitely in there.

If you run it from WT as c:\windows\sysnative\openssh\ssh.exe, does it work? (key being sysnative)

Yes, that does appear to work.

This is fascinating. Everything we're seeing from your system (through WT) is acting as though you're in WoW/using powershell x86 on an x64 machine/possibly on an ARM64 machine where it doesn't ship arm64 powershell by default.

Did you install Terminal from the store, or from our downloads page?

Can you share your profiles.json and the defaults.json from your terminal distribution?

Would you also mind sharing the output of Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsTerminal*?

Sorry for all the questions!

kuzi-moto · 2020-02-26T16:31:38Z

I initially installed it via chocolatey a while ago. On seeing these issues I uninstalled it, then re-installed via the store.

Can you share your profiles.json and the defaults.json from your terminal distribution?

So, I've been thinking about this for a while, and I just can't dig up a single idea as to why it's happening.

Would you mind running Process Monitor?

If you create a filter for Process name is powershell.exe Include (screenshot below), and then Event Class is File System Include, it'll be a pretty small trace.

filter

files only

ssh filter, possibly:

I'd love to see what powershell is doing when you try to run ssh!

When I run it, I get this:

it shows powershell searching for ssh in $PATH 😄

kuzi-moto · 2020-03-24T19:15:12Z

I'm not sure what's wrong, but I get a bit over 2,000 events when running ssh with the suggested filters.

Here is a screenshot of the filters:

I have uploaded a spreadsheet of the results for your perusal: Logfile.xlsx

DHowett-MSFT · 2020-03-24T19:39:36Z

If you add this filter, it should cut down on the noise significantly:

when you launch a new powershell tab with WT, it should spit out some events.

Here you go: Logfile.xlsx

DHowett-MSFT · 2020-03-31T20:37:55Z

I've got really great and terrible news for you. You have a stray copy of powershell.exe, 32-bit, sitting in C:\Windows. That's not really a normal or expected location for PowerShell to live. . .

DHowett-MSFT · 2020-04-01T00:10:37Z

Closing as a question -- root caused to powershell living somewhere it shouldn't, still on $PATH. Fix by identifying why that powershell's there (and removing it) or changing the commandline of Windows PowerShell so that it points to the one living in System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 😄

DHowett · 2020-06-26T01:02:49Z

Hey @kuzi-moto -- did you ever end up figuring out where that copy of PowerShell came from? 😄

Occasionally, we get users with corrupt PATH environment variables: they can't lauch PowerShell, because for some reason it's dropped off their PATH. We also get users who have stray applications named `powershell.exe` just lying around in random system directories. We can combat both of these issues by simply hardcoding where we expect PowerShell and CMD to live. %SystemRoot% was chosen over %WINDIR% because apparently (according to Stack Overflow), SystemPath is read-only and WINDIR isn't. Refs #6039, #4390, #4228, #4682 (stray powershell.exe). This may impact #6082 (as it might be another "stray file" incident).

Hey @kuzi-moto -- did you ever end up figuring out where that copy of PowerShell came from? 😄

Actually I never did! Couldn't figure out how it got there, so I think I just deleted it and all was well.

DHowett · 2020-06-26T02:17:47Z

Excellent.

I thought of you because of #6684 -- I can't believe it took me literally six months to think of this solution ;P

kuzi-moto · 2020-06-26T03:16:34Z

Well, hindsight is always 20/20! I'm just glad I got it working, been happy using it this far.

Probably don't do that, just use the system's built-in SSH client once you figure out which architecture you're on.
