CloudShell Linux VA Known limitations

This section lists known limitations.

  • The time zone cannot be automatically detected when running CloudShell Authoring commands on execution servers over Linux. Therefore, when using TestShell API in a driver, add the SetServerConnectionTimeZone function to the driver (after the Logon function). Alternatively, to set the time zone for all drivers on a specific execution server, set the ClientTimeZoneId configuration key in the customer.config file of the Linux execution server’s installation directory.
  • When using file system library, the file location syntax in use must match that used by the Linux directory structure.
  • The Excel file extensions that are not supported are listed in the following table:
