Description:
The [ command error reporting can incorrectly state which file an error
occured in.
Repeat-By:
Create A.sh:
#!/bin/sh
echo "about to source B.sh"
source B.sh
echo "finished sourcing B.sh"
Create B.sh:
#!/bin/sh
echo "first line of B.sh. next line has an error.."
[ 0 [
echo "after error-line"
Run A.sh:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ./A.sh
line 3 of A.sh. about to source B.sh
line 2 of B.sh. next line has an error..
./A.sh: line 3: [: missing `]'
after error-line
finished sourcing B.sh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>
See that the error message says that the error occured on line 3 of A.sh,
when in fact the error occured on line 3 of B.sh
