Seems SSHLibrary couldn't switch to root user successfully #65

Closed yanne closed 10 years ago

yanne commented 10 years ago
  1. I login a remote server as user A with self._ssh.login(username,password)
  2. I try to switch to root user with below commands self._ssh.write("su -") self._ssh.read_until("Password: ") self._ssh.write(self._password) self._ssh.set_prompt("# ") No error after executing the commands.

  3. Print the current user print self._ssh.execute_command("whoami")

    The result is A, not root. Anyone meets the same problem? Thanks

This happens because Execute Command keyword executes the command in a new session. Thus changes to the session you've done earlier are not visible.
