#19 bosh: Using set -e causes unexpected termination within the function

[Koichi Nakashima]

Using Schily Tools 2020-04-18 on Debian 10.3.
(No problem with Schily Tools 2020-03-27.)

set -e

foo() {
  echo 1
  false
  echo 2 # not executed
}

if foo; then
  :
fi

echo end # not executed

I'll have a look at this.

BTW: Do you have a larger test suite for these problem, or did you discover the problems ad hoc?

[Koichi Nakashima]

I am developing a test tool called ShellSpec for shell script.

BDD style unit testing framework for POSIX compliant shell script
https://github.com/shellspec/shellspec

It supports ALL POSIX compliant shell includes ksh88 and of course bosh.

ShellSpec itself is also tested with ShellSpec. So if the shell breaks, the test also breaks.

Hi, I am not sure whether the main issue is to never quit from inside a function if the return code
of the function is checked.

Could you check the attached patch?

[Koichi Nakashima]

Hi, Thank you for your quick work. This issue seems fixed with the patch. However Ticket [#15] is resurrected.

Closed as it is fixed in the next release
