unexpected behavior in Bolt 0.18.1

[Ty Young]

Hey fellow Puppet users,

I'm a Puppet newb, but I did look through postings in this group and in other locations for the answer before posting this question.  Please forgive me if I'm asking a FAQ.

When I execute a Bolt 'run command' task, my connection succeeds using SSH keys but job terminates with a status code 1 and reminds me of the proper syntax for scp (secure copy) commands. 

root@zztypuppet01:tty1@23:25:08:~/.puppetlabs # bolt command run '/bin/echo "hello world"' --nodes remotehost --user root --verbose
Started on remotehost...
2018-04-01T23:25:13.182788 INFO   remotehost: Command failed with exit code 1
Failed on remotehost:
  The command failed with exit code 1
  STDERR:

Ran on 1 node in 0.18 seconds
root@zztypuppet01:tty1@23:25:13:~/.puppetlabs #

Logging on the remote host for SSH indicates a successful connection:

Apr  1 23:28:19 remotehost sshd[29147]: Accepted publickey for root from 10.204.40.10 port 37122 ssh2
Apr  1 23:28:19 remotehost sshd[29147]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Apr  1 23:28:19 remotehost sshd[29147]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root

According to the documentation for Bolt, I'm formatting the command successfully.

Am I missing something here?
Thanks
ty

That's really a mysterious error. Your usage of bolt looks correct, and there shouldn't be any files uploaded when just running a command regardless. Can you try the command with --debug and provide that output? Also, do you have any config in ~/.puppetlabs/bolt.yaml?
