[PATCH v3/GSoC 4/5] test-lib.sh: unset all environment variables defined in xdg base dir spec[1]

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

 



Otherwise, on environments where these variables and set, an assignment
to one of these variables will cause the variable being implicitly exported.

For example:

    $ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/2000 bash
    $ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/whatever # it should not be exported!
    $ bash
    $ echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
    /tmp/whatever # instead of empty
