Problem with Vagrant ssh shell command return code ($?)

[Johan Mazel]

Hello

I created a setup single box which a Debian Buster.

I am trying to execute a command in a box and get its return code printed to stdout.

I run "ls; echo $?; ls toto; echo $?" where toto is not present.

On the host, the ouput is:

*content of directory*

0

ls: cannot access 'toto': No such file or directory

2

I get the 2 value because toto is not present.

Then I do "vagrant ssh client -c 'ls; echo $?; ls toto; echo $?'" (toto is again not present), and I get the following output:

*content of directory*

0

ls: cannot access 'toto': No such file or directory

0

Why is the return code/status of the second ls 0?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Johan Mazel

Probably need to defer interpretation of $? - looks like it may be getting evaluated early.

Actually, the problem disappeared so I have no idea actually happened.

It was probably a mistake on my side.
