Possibility to run commands via ssh #39

Closed yanne closed 10 years ago

yanne commented 10 years ago

I would like to run a command via ssh from Robot. Reading documentation, it seems that with SSHLibrary, it is not possible to run the equivalent of:

:~$ ssh user@remote.place.com ls

and get back the output

Or am I missing something? If I'm not, can this functionality be done?

This issue was originally opened at Google Code on Nov 4, 2011.

You want to run a command in the system where Robot is running on? Have you tried Run in OperatingSystem library?

OperatingSystems doesen't provide interactive way to run commands. What I need is to run a command via ssh that will then launch interactive session with the user. Your library would fit the bill if you could start a connection with also a command. This is also -- with respect -- something I'd see to be belonging in your library.

Open Connection host Login username password ${output}= Execute Command ls

Is the way to run a single command over an SSH connection. You can wrap that in a user keyword, so that in a test case it is only a single line. If you want an interactive session, you have to use Write * and Read * -keywords:

Open Connection host Login user password Write cmd ${output} Read Until Prompt Write further input ....

Or is there a scenario that is not covered by these two?
