I worked on DevOps with VSTS. Currently I used the “PowerShell” Task to run the PowerShell script. But unfortunately my VSTS repository name having space (for example “WebApp Demo”), that’s why I am getting the issue while executing the PowerShell script at VSTS release level.
[error] Process completed with exit code 0 and had 1 error(s) written
to the error stream.
PowerShell Task configuration in VSTS release definition
For resolving the above error I followed so many blogs but issue will be the same.
Windows Powershell doesn't seem to accept target paths with spaces
Run a PowerShell Script with Space in the Path
Windows PowerShell Cannot Run Script Whose Path Contains Spaces
Based on the log, you the value of ConfigFilePath is the path that contains space.
Change argument to:
-webConfigFilePath "$(ConfigFilePath)"

I created a freestyle job in Jenkins that I just set up (latest version).
I added parameters to it. One of those is a Options selection for ReleaseType with the options of Staging and Release.
One of the build steps is executing a remote command on the server when the site is uploaded to. It uses the Execute Windows Batch Command build step.
Here is the command line (with things made generic):
sexec myuser#mysite.com -pw=mypassword -cmd="PowerShell -Command ""C:\batch\bvCopyFast.ps1 C:\inetpub\mysite${ReleaseType}\siteLoad C:\inetpub\mysite${ReleaseType}\site""
Basically I am executing a powershell command that uses Robocopy to copy the files from the upload folder to the actual release folder for the site.
As you can see I need to have the ${ReleaseType} replaced with the actual value. The problem is that when this gets executed it isn't doing the substitution. I just uses that literal value in the command and that doesn't work.
If you use the -Command parameter it implies you are going to write raw PowerShell code in between the quotation marks that follow (allow you can call a script as you have).
PowerShell -Command "Get-Date; pause;"
To call a PowerShell script file you should use:
PowerShell -File "Your-Script.ps1 -Parameter1 Argument1 -Parameter2 Argument2"
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/components/console/powershell.exe-command-line-help?view=powershell-6
I would write a PowerShell script that accepted your root path and the releaseType as arguments and execute that.
Param($rootPath,$releaseType)
{
robocopy "$($rootPath)\$($releaseType)\siteLoad" "$($rootPath)\$($releaseType)\site"
}
I have never used Jenkins so I hope this works as I expect it to!
sexec myuser#mysite.com -pw=mypassword -cmd=""PowerShell -File 'C:\batch\newScript.ps1' -RootPath 'c:\inetpub\mysite' -ReleaseType {ReleaseType}""
I'm completely new to Bamboo, so thank you in advance for the help.
I'm trying to create a Bamboo Run that zips files from a git repo and uploads it to Artifactory. Currently my build contains 2 tasks - source code checkout and a simple powershell script. The first time I run it it builds perfectly fine, but without any modifications any consecutive runs fail.
The error I'm getting in the log is the following:
Failing task since return code of [powershell -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Command /bin/sh /opt/bamboo/agent/temp/OR-J8U-JOB1-4-ScriptBuildTask-539645121146088515.ps1] was -1 while expected 0
Replacing the powershell script with empty space does not resolve the issue - only removing the script completely allows the build to succeed, but I cannot reinsert a new script or it will fail. I read other online questions suggesting that I "merge the user-level PATH environment information in to the system-level PATH" but I cannot find the user-level environment information, my environmental variables section is completely empty.
Like Vlad, I found that it was more efficient to implement my powershell script with batch.
Evening,
I have recently installed TFS2015 and investigating the Release Management integrated solution, but have come across a huge blocker that I just cannot make sense of.
I currently have a RM2013 build working with TFS, RM Server 2013, and Powershell DSC and have setup a new deployment in RM2015, it has a single task in it 'Execute Powershell on Remote Machine' - with a very simple powershell script just writing out a string to the verbose listener.
I have verified that the file is transferred to the Agent working directory as part of the artifact transfer process, and if I call Import-Module "path to script" (Which is what the PowerShellonTargetMachines script seems to do under the hood) in the ISE of the remote server, my script runs perfectly fine - but no matter what I do, in TFS release 2015 I get this error without fail:
[error]The term 'path to script\test.ps1' 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. For more info please refer to http://aka.ms/powershellontargetmachinesreadme
Now just to double confirm, the path to the scrpt is 100% correct, I have pasted it into a local ISE on the remote server, and it executes perfectly fine - but from TFS2015 Execute Powershell on Remote Server - it simply fails to run, in fact any script I point at fails to run with the exact same error (I initially thought it might be a DSC component install failure, but even with a simple test script the same issue occurs without fail!
My path in the tasks Deployment>Powershell Script parameter input is:
c:\test_scripts\test.ps1
I have tried with quotes, without quotes, dot sourcing - nothing makes a difference which is making me think something fundamentally is either broken with my installation, or I am simply doing this wrong.
Any ideas gratefully received!!!
The script has to already be on the machine. You can push the script using the "Windows Machine File Copy" task.
Fixed this... make sure you execute the PS1 file on the release agent itself unless copying the powershell files to the remote node via file copy first as indicated below
I have a Jenkins (1.493) project that uses the Jenkins PowerShell build step to execute a PowerShell script. Inside that script I want to invoke another script that is stored inside a file. I have now reduced it to the following:
Script inside Jenkins PowerShell build step:
& "\\stemmer.local\sidevelopment\cvdev\devbase\jenkins\PowerShell\Test.ps1"
Content of Test.ps1:
write-host 'Hello world!'
Whenever this Jenkins project executes, the PowerShell build step hangs indefinitely.
Things I have tried/verified so far:
Adding some output before the invocation of Test.ps1 shows me that the Jenkins PowerShell script is being execute normally up to the point where Test.ps1 is called.
The file Test.ps1 exists and is reachable from the build slave that executes the script. If I alter the file's name, I get the expected error message from PowerShell...
Exchanging the " for ' in the 1st script does not change anything. Also, using dot-sourcing rather than & does not help.
The file Test.ps1 can be executed properly from the powershell itself using the same command line that is being used in the Jenkins PowerShell script.
The execution policy for PowerShell has been set to unrestricted on my development host as well as on the Jenkins build slave.
I've tried replacing the PowerShell build step with a Windows batch command build step that looks like this:powershell.exe -InputFormat None -File "\\stemmer.local\sidevelopment\cvdev\devbase\jenkins\PowerShell\Test.ps1"and played around a little with the parameters of powershell.exe, but the results were - in those cases that were syntactically and otherwise correct as far as I can tell - always the same.
I only found few references to problems that sounded similar, but none of the approaches mentioned elsewhere did help me fix this. I am absolutely puzzled, and wondering whether someone encountered this issue before (and maybe even got a scenario like the one I have in mind running).
Thanks a lot for any input!

have you tried to set execution policy to bypass ?
Copy the script file locally, then invoke it from within the Jenkins PowerShell plugin - that way it works as expected.
I have an MSBuild script that I want to call from a PowerShell script as part of a deployment process. If I call the build script via a bat file all works well. If I do the exact same thing in PowerShell I get CS1668 error looking for wierd and wonderful paths that dont exist on my machine.
I know I am getting into the MSBuild script as these errors are occuring from within the MSBuild script targets (logging output is showing this).
The bat file and the PowerShell script reside in the same place, right next to the build script.
Errors:
error CS1668 : Warning as error :
Invalid search path 'C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\AtlMfc\Lib' specified in 'LIB
environment variable' -- 'The system
cannot find the path specified. '
error CS1668 : Warning as error :
Invalid search path 'C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\PlatformSDK\Lib' specified in
'LIB environment variable'-- 'The
system cannot find the path specified.
'
I have checked and neiter of these paths do NOT exist on my machine.
Why would running from PowerShell change what paths MSBuild look for?
Thanks in advance
RhysC
EDIT- adding in code: NB the name of the MSBuild script is AutomatedDebug.build
POWERSHELL SCRIPT:
#Begining of script
$CurrentPath = Split-Path (Split-Path $myinvocation.mycommand.path )
#Assign the Build script paths. 1 is for building and testsing, 1 is for deployment (to keep things clean)
$MSBuildScriptBuildAndTestPath = $CurrentPath + "\Tools\AutomatedDebug.build"
$MSBuildScriptDeployPath = $CurrentPath + "\Tools\Deploy.build"
#Run the automated build with tests
Write-Host "*** Run the automated build with tests ***"
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSbuild.exe $MSBuildScriptBuildAndTestPath "/t:AllTests" "/l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=AllTests.log"
if($LastExitCode -ne 0)
{
throw "AllTests failed"
}
Write-Host "*** FINISHED: Run the automated build with tests ***"
Bat File
#C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSbuild.exe AutomatedDebug.build /t:AllTests /l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile="AllTests.log"

Ok, what is actually happening is that I have dowloaded the Powershell Community Extensions (http://pscx.codeplex.com) many moons ago and there is a Environment.VisualStudio2005.ps1 file in there that adds EnvVars that dont exist. This is (I assume) becuase i dont use VS2005. I have commmented this out and all is well. I have tried to look for the 2008 equivilent but dint have too much luck. To be honest i dont use powershell to its full potential so i doubt i even need the PSCX on my machine anyway.
Thanks guys for your help.
It is most likely due to how you are passing parameters into the MSBuild script. There are some key parameter parsing differences between CMD and PowerShell and by using a batch file, you are implicitly using CMD's parameter parsing engine to hand off the parameters to MSBuild. If you post the command line you're using, one of the PowerShell gurus here can probably help debug where the parameters are getting confused.
I am wondering, basically you get "Warning as error" here. You can either try turning off treating warnings as errors (I mean, having a lib path which doesn't exist doesn't sound that bad to me) or you'll let your scripts print out the respective environment variables (using echo %LIB% and $Env:LIB respectively) from the scripts and look for differences.
However, since the envvars for VS aren't set globally by default (that's why there are the three Visual Studio command prompts) you have to set all variables somewhere. If you're doing this within the scripts you may have a typo somewhere?
