      It would be great to have an option to output the executed commands into the job build console for debugging purposes. right now only STDOUT and STDERR are logged.

      for example i have a managed script like

      BUNDLE_NAME=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleDisplayName" ${WORKSPACE}/${1})

      i call the managed script with the path to a plist as first argument with heavy usage of variables.

      the only output in the build console i get is

      Print: Entry, "CFBundleDisplayName", Does Not Exist

      it would be nice to have something like in the "normal" build step script execution like:

      ++ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print CFBundleDisplayName' /the/path/to/the/plist/as/defined/by/argument.plist
Print: Entry, "CFBundleDisplayName", Does Not Exist

      of course i can add some variable dumps, but this seems very tedious as this works very nicely in the normal "execute script" build step.

          the only reason why this works in the "normal" shell build step is when you do not define a shebang on the first line.
          If you don't do that, then every single line in the textbox is executed on its own an therefore the execution can be logged.
          If you add a shebang, then the full textbox is treated as a script (as this plugin does) and then you don't get the debug output either.

          Hi Dominik,

          thanks for your answer.

          so i guess this is not possible, without a major overhaul? somthing like /bin/bash -x managed-scripname.sh is not possible?

          Thanks anyway
          Jonas
