error: cannot run ssh: No such file or directory

Question

I am running into an issue when trying to do a git push on a Popen() function where I get an ssh error

error: cannot run ssh: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork

I believe this error is due to the fact that ssh is not in my python scripts path? If that is the case what would be the best way for me to handle this?

Here is my function call in case it would help

subprocess.Popen( 'git push', shell = True, stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.PIPE )

also as an aside. git status works great so I know the git commands are working. it just chokes when it goes to interact with the server.

Answer 1

Look at the output of

subprocess.Popen("echo $PATH",shell=True)

it should contain the path of your ssh executable (also to be found in os.environ["PATH"]). It is not the same as your python search path which is in sys.path

Answer 2

检查是否已安装ssh-client ，即使存在ssh密钥，也可以解决docker机器上的问题：

apt-get install ssh-client
