Public bug reported:
Shellcheck detected an instance of
https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2015 in the .bashrc that
ships with Ubuntu.
Here is the existing code:
test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval
"$(dircolors -b)"
It appears to be intended to behave like a ternary statement. The
existing code evaluates `eval "$(dircolors -b)"` if `test -r
~/.dircolors` is true and `eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)"` is
false, which at face value doesn't appear to be the intention. According
to Shellcheck, it should instead be:
if [ -r ~/.dircolors ]; then
eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)"
else
eval "$(dircolors -b)"
fi
This ensures that the else case only executes when test -r ~/.dircolors
is false.
