Hudson : “yes: standard output: Broken pipe”

Question

I need to run a shell script in hudson. That script needs an answer from the user. To give an automatic answer I did the following command line :  

yes         


        

Answer 1

I had this error, and my problem with it is not that it output yes: standard output: Broken pipe but rather than it returns an error code.

Because I run my script with bash strict mode including -o pipefail, when yes "errors" it causes my script to error.

How to avoid an error

The way I avoided this is like so:

bash -c "yes || true" | my-script.sh
