Hello bash team,
I've noticed a regression in one of my test suites for a program using the
python pexpect library, after upgrading from 5.0.3(1)-release to
5.1.0(1)-rc1. Here's a minimal test case (in python) I've created:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import os
import pexpect
ps1 = "MYspECIalpROmpt: "
env = {
"HOME": os.environ["HOME"],
"LANG": "en_US.UTF-8",
"LOGNAME": os.environ["LOGNAME"],
"PS1": ps1,
"PATH": "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
"TERM": "dumb",
"USER": os.environ["USER"],
}
expects = [pexpect.TIMEOUT, "(\r\n)?" + ps1]
child = pexpect.spawn("bash --norc", env=env, echo=False)
pos = child.expect(expects, timeout=1)
child.sendline('echo $BASH_VERSION')
pos = child.expect(expects, timeout=1)
if pos:
print(f'Got BASH_VERSION="{child.before.decode("utf-8")}".')
else:
print("expect() timed-out!")
print(f"Debug info:\n{str(child)}")
child.sendline("exit")
child.close()
# EOF
When running on a machine with bash 5.1.0(1)-rc1 installed, I get:
$ ./test.py

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
