Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-7.4
Severity: normal
Steps to reproduce:
$ cat /tmp/test.sh
false
. /dev/null
echo $?
$ dash /tmp/test.sh
1
$ bash /tmp/test.sh
0
The only reference I can find to POSIX behaviour of "." says[1]:
EXIT STATUS: Returns the value of the last command executed, or a zero
exit status if no command is executed.
In the above example, no command is executed (since /dev/null is empty) but the
resulting exit status is not zero; in fact, it's left-over from the invocation
of "false". For the record, "busybox sh" behaves the same way as dash, as does
posh.
I came across this problem in a script that used "set -e". Here's
a slightly less minimal test-case:
$ cat /tmp/test2.sh
set -e
if false; then
echo "hello"
else
. /dev/null
fi
$ dash /tmp/test2.sh; echo $?
1
The "." builtin is treated as having failed, even though it was the condition
of the if statement that set $? to a non-zero value.
