-bash: ./deploy.sh: Permission denied , ERROR: script returned exit code 126

Question

I am trying to implement continuous deployment using Jenkins and that involves sending a jar file to a remote server and start the jar once its on the remote server.

The problem is that i keep getting access denied error and i have tried every account i have on my remote and local server nothing seems to work. I get the same Error.

Jenkins file

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {

        stage ('Packaging stage') {

            steps {
                withMaven(maven : 'Maven') {
                    sh 'mvn clean install'
                }
            }
        }

        stage ('Deploy To Dev Server') {

             steps {
                sh './deploy.sh'
         }
       }
    }

}

deploy.sh

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn scp -P 10022 /var/lib/jenkins/.m2/repository/org/hector/eureka-naming-server/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/eureka-naming-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

It looks like your deploy.sh isn't executable, as you can see with the error code 126 “command not executable".

ls -l path/to/

the output should be similar to:

-rw-r--r--    1 user  staff      402 Aug  1 10:55 deploy.sh

If your file hasn't the executable flag, you should change the access right with chmod, something like:

chmod +x path/to/deploy.sh

the result should be then something like (notice the 4th char x):

-rwxr--r--    1 user  staff      402 Aug  1 10:55 deploy.sh

If your script is committed to git, you can also do:

git update-index --chmod=+x path/to/deploy.sh
