Question 38360 in Ubuntu Question posted in
The official Ubuntu documentation can be found here.

Jenkins fails: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S option to read from standard input – Ubuntu

While Jenkins building, it gives an error on console output like:

sudo: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S option to read from standard input or configure an askpass helper

How can i fix this situation?

There is this command in Execute Shell in configure:

sudo pnpm run build
sudo kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i:3000)

Output:

16:42:03  > git config core.sparsecheckout # timeout=10
16:42:03  > git checkout -f 9998780d6a154bab01b4c010616f25a6f018d80c # timeout=10

16:42:04 Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
16:42:04 Finished: FAILURE

If i dont use "sudo" command at beginning of the pnpm command but i needed to use it for kill port and start again

    I found a solution for the usage of sudo command in jenkins execute shell.

    sudo su    
nano /etc/sudoers

    add following line under the comment #User privilege specification.

    jenkins ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL

    After this, I could use "sudo" command in jenkins.

    Remove sudo from your script and let pnpm run without it — it doesn’t require root permissions anyway.

    sudo is meant to be used in the terminal by a human user, and by default it requires the user’s password to run commands with elevated privileges.

    When running jobs on Jenkins you shouldn’t be using sudo.
