Description:
[Detailed description of the problem, suggestion, or complaint.]
Hello,
I would like to report to you a problem I encounter with bash 4.3.30.
In the following example, VAR is undefined.
With bash 3.2, when I run the following commands:
if [ -d ${VAR:=""} ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
I get the no answer ("" is not a directory: correct behaviour).
If I run the same commands with bash 4.3.30, I get the yes answer, which seems
to be a bad behavior.
Would it be possible to fix this issue?
Thank you,
Olivier
