Invocation of 'sh' on Windows should provide a more helpful error

      Right now if your pipeline script inadvertently tries to invoke the sh step, something approximating this error will fail your build:

      I expect the build to error out, but something more helpful would be nice, like "The `sh` step is not supported on the Windows platform, please use `bat` or install Cygwin"

          With Git for Windows 2.16.2, I was able to add C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the PATH (rather than C:\Program Files\Git\bin) and consequently my sh commands work in both FreeStyle and Pipeline builds. No mklink was necessary.

          Happening here as well with Git Bash, sadly the workarounds didn't work for me at all even when I altered PATH:

          pipeline {
            environment {
              PATH = "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\usr\\bin;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin;${env.PATH}"
            stages {
              stage('Sanity check') {
                steps {
                  sh 'script/code_scan.sh'
                }
              }
          ...
          

          I did bat 'sh -c script/code_scan.sh' instead ,which seems to work but is ugly and might hide gremlins.

          Errors were of the form:

          java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

          I had to set the PATH System variable on the computer before I could get sh to work on Windows.

          Setting it in the  "List of variables" on the configuration page of the node in Jenkins allowed me to use the workaround as mentioned by antgel
          Only once I set it in Windows and restarted the node could I use the "sh" command directly from within my script.

          I had to set the PATH System variable on the computer before I could get sh to work on Windows.

          That's important, it doesn't work otherwise. Adding it to PATH from within the pipeline (eg. withEnv(...) or environment { ... }) doesn't work.

          The error related with : 
          Cannot run program "nohup"
          means that it's searching for nohup.exe because is what jenkins requires when using 'sh' in the pipeline, so you can use nuhup.exe from here: "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin".

          Eventhough, what I have done in order to solve this issue is the following: Create a if else statement in your jenkinsfile that does:

               if (isUnix()) --> sh "command"

               else --> bat "command"

          doing so the pipeline running on agent windows will run as bat and this error no longer appears.

          Note: You can also use "tool config configuration" of jenkins and install tools from there. In case your sh commands were related with installation files

          As added the git/bin & git/usr/bin to System PATH, reconnect the windows node is needed.

          keeftm We have EXACTLY the same problem.

          We are connecting the worker via SSH with a user that has admin rights. All Git folders are in the PATH, both system and user. I can easily run nohup when I do, cmd.exe -> sh.exe -> nohup --help.

          What can we do???

          The mklink softlinks actually worked. I agree that adding Git/usr/bin to the PATH is NOT an option.

          Why does jenkins not just call "nohup" from inside the shell/batch that was requested?? This is a horrible user experience.

          The error message was very confusing for me. Please fix this!

          https://github.com/jenkinsci/durable-task-plugin/pull/243 removes the call to nohup which I suppose is the main complaint; other issues would best be filed separately.
