Jenkins wrong exit value

[M]

I'm using two slaves, Windows and Linux. In the first case I have cywing so I execute commands in both slaves through sh:

...
node(label) {
sh '''#!/bin/bash -xei
   whoami
   echo $?
   case $- in
       *i*) echo This shell is interactive ;;
       *)   echo This shell is not interactive ;;
   esac
   echo d = $?'''
}
...

I put the $? in order to understand why, sometimes, after executing the build Jenkins returns an error (script returned exit code -1) even if all the exit values are 0s. It seems to be a random error. Most of the time the build is correct, but in some cases it returns this annoyng -1 exit value without a reason.

Which slave does it fail on, Linux or Windows? -1 sounds really strange because most commands on Linux return positive numbers. Do you have the console log of above script from a failing job? Since you're using "-x" we ought to see which command is failing (and since you're also using "-e", it should be the last one the script has executed).

Wonder why you're using "-i", though...

Bye...

Thank you for your reply. The random error appears only in the Windows slave which uses Cygwin. In the console log I only see this when it works correctly:

test #20 completed: SUCCESS

and when it fails:

test #25 completed: FAILURE

The -i is my mistake :)
