Subject: Sourcing an empty files does not reset exit status
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 03:18:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <n2e2qe$voq$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello,
a bug has been filed in the Debian BTS about dash not resetting the exit
status after sourcing an empty file with the dot command. [1]
The following test echoes "OK" with bash and "fail" with dash
#!/bin/sh
echo > ./empty
false
. ./empty && echo "OK" || echo "fail"
A similar bug in dash has been discussed and addressed in 2011 [2], but
it looks like the solution has been only partial.
The version of dash I tested is the current git master branch, commit
2e58422.
