I am using the synchronized shell in net/ssh.
shell = ssh.shell.sync
Works like a charm when I use direct methods on the shell:
out = shell.cd "dir1/dir2"
# out has #status etc.
Fails when I use send_data
out = shell.send_data "cd dir1/dir2"
# out is an Array
Is it supposed to do this?
Yes. #send_data just sends data directly across the pipe, without waiting for any response. The return value is not meaningful, generally.
If you want to send some literal command to the shell without using the method_missing proxy, you can use send_command:
out = shell.send_command "cd dir1/dir2"
You can pass a string to send to the comamnd's stdin as the second parameter to #send_command, too.
