## In POSIX sh, test -G is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
if [ -G file ]
|
||||
then
|
||||
echo "File is owned by your effective group"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
if [ -n "$(find file -prune -group "$(id -g)")" ]
|
||||
then
|
||||
echo "File is owned by your effective group"
|
||||
fi```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
`test -G` is a bash/ksh/dash/ash extension to check whether the file is owned by your effective group.
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure compatibility with other shells, you can use `find -group "$(id -g)"`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
If you expect your shell to support `test -G`, specify this explicitly in the shebang (or with `# shellcheck shell=dash` directive).
