You are indeed right.
I can now reproduce the problem locally.
It boils down to
(setq exit-status
(process-file shell-file-name input-file
(if error-file
(list t error-file)
t)
nil shell-command-switch command))
that is an equivalent of
bash -c bash /path/to/file-containing-the-source-code.sh
----- file-containing-the-source-code.sh ----
ssh localhost 'echo foo>/tmp/foo_file'
echo $(uname -a) |tee /tmp/uname1.txt
---------------------------------------------
If one tries to evaluate the above, the second line is not produced. It
has nothing to do with Emacs itself.
However, if I try
(process-file "bash" "/tmp/test.sh"), the /tmp/uname1.txt is not
produced.
This time, it is Emacs problem.
The problem is caused by interactive password prompt displayed by ssh.
I guess we may try to report this upstream, though I am not sure if this
is something that is supported to start with.
