Hudson on Windows - Error: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "sh"

I am trying to do continuous integration with Hudson and MSTest.

When I try to run this job I get the following error:

This happens because Jenkins is not aware about the shell path.
In Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Shell, set the shell path as

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

Just use the "windows batch command" and enter the windows commands as you would want to type them on the command line.

This issue will be resolved by trying this command to make the jenkins job run For me it work, just try to update this in manage jenkins -->configure system -->search for shell -->and in shell executable give the following command. It helps!!!

C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe

The way to fix the problem was to put the value of C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe into the "Shell executable" configuration in Hudson System configuration.

In build section of your job, you can put windows command to execute after compiling the project EX:

copy target\pmd-rules-extensions-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar D:\projects\sonar\sonar-3.4.1\extensions\rules\pmd\

In my case the builds worked using the "Execute shell" before doing a system reboot and migration and gave the Cannot run program "sh" after. The issue was that the system path got shorter unexpectedly. It's not clear why, but the path lost C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin and the version of Git I was using comes with sh.exe.

Of course, you could just change all your "Execute shell" build steps to "Execute Windows batch command" in all your jobs as suggested by @funkybro. This doesn't solve your problem if you have a job that could run on either a Windows system or Linux and you have both systems for other reasons.

Or, you could change this setting to use cmd.exe as suggested by @ajith: Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Shell -> Shell executable = C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

But, I like having linux commands and using something that more closely resembles Bash. It's my own preference but I thought this might also be helpful. To start from the beginning, I used Chocolatey NuGet to install Git. I also recommend GnuWin to give you some of the very helpful Unix commands.

Then you can fix this using the Windows UI by adding C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ to the system path.

Or you can fix it in Jenkins global config: Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Shell -> Shell executable = C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe

This happens if you have specified your Windows command as "Execute shell" rather than "Execute Windows batch command".
