[PATCH resend] properly quote strings tested with -n

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



Per the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide:

"The -n test requires that the string be quoted within the test brackets.
Using an unquoted string with ! -z, or even just the unquoted string
alone within test bracket normally works, however, this is an unsafe
practice. Always quote a tested string."

And indeed:

$ unset FOOBAR
$ [ -n $FOOBAR ] || echo nope
$ [ -n "$FOOBAR" ] || echo nope
nope

Ran into this on a box w/o the attr program installed, and passed
_require_attrs.  Quoting the string fixes this; fix it there
and other occurrences in common/* as well.
