Building on self-hosted Windows 10: Failed to run "sh "

[Carsten-MaD]

Hey!

Bug description I am trying to set up a build pipeline, and since we have a lot of spare Windows 10 workstations around, I felt it would be a good use for them to be part of a build farm.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is a problem, please review the information below:

OS: Windows 10 64bit

Configuration

- uses: game-ci/unity-builder@v2
  env:
    UNITY_EMAIL: ${{ secrets.UNITY_EMAIL }}
    UNITY_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.UNITY_PASSWORD }}
    UNITY_SERIAL: ${{ secrets.UNITY_SERIAL }}
  with:
    unityVersion: '2019.2.17f1'
    targetPlatform: StandaloneWindows

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\bin to $env:GITHUB_PATH solved the problem. I assume these bootstrapping steps are all taken care of in the Docker image?

[webbertakken]

Thanks for reporting this. Indeed this is not expected to happen on a Windows runner.

The windows runner isn't supposed to run sh at all. Someone will need to look into it.

Same matter as discussed in: https://github.com/game-ci/unity-builder/issues/390

See my reply: https://github.com/game-ci/unity-builder/issues/390#issuecomment-1105656623

It seems there is still a call to sh somewhere. Adding C:\Program Files\Git\bin to PATH surely helps

Seems like this may still be a problem according to this discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/710946343828455455/1088495967067713536

I switched to using a windows self-hosted runner when my GitHub Runner started failing to build because it was running out of memory. I cannot seem to get self-hosted to work as I get this same error.

I've tried adding C:\Program Files\Git\bin to $env:GITHUB_PATH and C:\Program Files\Git\bin to PATH, but still get the error.

Also I've tried using game-ci/unity-builder@v2, game-ci/unity-builder@cloud-runner-develop, and game-ci/unity-builder@main with no luck.

@GitFlip same here. Did you get it working??

Unfortunately I did not get it working yet.

i have the same problem on windows 11 any one found a solution i added C:\Program Files\Git\bin to PATH i don't know how to add C:\Program Files\Git\bin to $env:GITHUB_PATH so i don't know if it may help

The simplest fix is to add git bash's bin directory to your path as it includes an sh executable. Since git is needed for the runners to work regardless this should be a decent workaround

i have the same problem on windows 11 any one found a solution i added C:\Program Files\Git\bin to PATH i don't know how to add C:\Program Files\Git\bin to $env:GITHUB_PATH so i don't know if it may help

adding C:\Program Files\Git\bin to PATH for the system solved it for me i was adding it for the user PATH previously
