Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
[[ -z seem to handle nullglob variables incorrect.
See the Repeat-By below.
Repeat-By:
mkdir empty
shopt -s nullglob
if [[ -z empty/* ]]
then
echo empty
fi
Shouldn't this echo empty?
echo empty/* echoes nothing, as it should since nullglob is set.
However, the test if [[ -z empty/* ]] evaluates to false, not
true as it should. Or shouldn't it?
This works with [ anyway:
if [ -z empty/* ]
then
echo empty
fi
echoes empty.
Fix:
Use [ instead of [[.
