So I simply ssh (from unix) and (in windows) change path and execute a script. Note that the path is ‘C:UsersPublicdocker_serviceLayoutMlgit’.

    ssh [email protected] "cd C:\Users\Public\docker_service\LayoutMlgit && powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File auto_launch.ps1"

    *cd : Impossible de trouver le chemin d'acces "C:UsersPublicdocker_serviceLayoutMLlayoutLMgit", car il n'existe 
    pas.*
    ***in english: can't find access path xxx cause it doesn't exist***
    + cd C:UsersPublicdocker_serviceLayoutMLlayoutLMgit

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:UsersPublic...tMLlayoutLMgit:String) [Set-Location], ItemNotFoundE 
   xception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand

it can’t find that path;
but… in the end, it still executes my script from this same ssh command:

   time="2024-06-21T16:04:54+02:00" level=warning msg="C:\Users\Public\docker_service\LayoutMLgit\docker-compose.yml: `version` is obsolete"

How powershell can lies to me and still executes this script from the path that ‘doesn’t exist’? By the way, I have checked and there is only ONE script with this name and it is only on this specific path : C:UsersPublicdocker_serviceLayoutMlgit’. But then:

+ cd C:UsersPublicdocker_serviceLayoutMLlayoutLMgit

I have never specified that. And I have no idea HOW powershell could ‘invente’ this path. Good news is that it still works. But I’m totally lost at this weird behavior.
