Not possible to "source" bash script

[hfrmobile]

I have to call some bash scripts on the remote machine after building but it is not possible to “source” bash script in VisualGDB:

• . script1.sh
• script2.sh
• script3.sh

“Sourcing” the script1.sh is necessary because the other scripts need environment variables set/changed by the first script.

Workaround: I created a “runall.sh” which does the lines above.

Not sure if this is by design but caused me hours of  error search …

Hi,

This is by design. Each command is started in a separate SSH channel, so the previous commands won’t affect the next ones. This is by design as otherwise unforeseen side effects from some commands executed early could cause very hard-to-diagnose bugs later.
