ParserError when running on Windows

[jpsim]

Thanks for publishing such a useful project! I'm trying to SSH into a Windows actions runner using this project, but there appears to be a parser error:

ParserError: D:\a\_temp\d0f821d0-9ab8-4cb8-8d5e-c5eafef37d6a.ps1:54
Line |
  54 |      net user $env:UserName ***
     |                                                 ~
     | Missing closing ')' in expression.

Here's a permalink to the CI job where this is happening: https://github.com/jpsim/Yams/pull/282/checks?check_run_id=1348666021

I'll see if setting a Username env variable in my action fixes this and report back.

This didn't help.

Hi @jpsim, thank you for trying out the action and raising this issue!
I will take a closer look at this later on today but until then I think I have an idea: trying a different password in your secrets.SSH_PASS as it might have special characters interfering with the command (like a ( and now it's expecting a ) also).
Please let me know if by any chance that would be a good workaround 😄

You got it, my password had a (. Changing it to something without parentheses worked! Thanks for the quick reply.

For anyone else landing here, the next password I tried after removing the parentheses didn't fail the ngrok setup but I still couldn't use it to SSH to the runner. It had a $ character which may have been the culprit. The third password I tried fully worked. Once I'm done debugging I'll post the working version here.

Alright you shouldn't use this exact password, but it might help to see what worked for me if you're having trouble getting something with a format that works for you: ZZFR2_QvYM466wREnRu~.
