after few action execution failed attempts due to any reason, error changes to : ' Error 2 File or directory not found : "path to entrypoint file" '

SUMMARY

Action execution failed due to St2 GUI not able to render password stored as secret.
After few attempts error changes to error : [ ERROR 2 ] No such file or directory "Absolute path to entry point script"
Although File exists and action was working manually before last attempt.

This happened where action failed few times for any reason like

1. kerberos not installed error
2. Credentials rejected by the server

In both cases after 7-8 attempts st2 give different error

STACKSTORM VERSION

st2 3.1.0, On Python 2.7.5

OS, environment, install method

OS : RHEL 7.7

Steps to reproduce the problem

use ntlm to connect to windows server to execute action ( using winrm-ps-script runner )
Provide wrong user name format like : user/domain, domain/user, domain@user etc

Expected Results

St2 should throw exception: credentials rejected by server no matter how many times we try

Actual Results

after 7-8 attempts : Error changes to : No such file or directory.

Making sure to follow these steps will guarantee the quickest resolution possible.

Thanks!

Start with the winrm-ps-script runner and reproduce the failure using invalid NTLM credentials, including repeated attempts after the initial error. Done means repeated failures continue to report the credential or server rejection rather than changing to a misleading missing-entrypoint-file error.
