## In POSIX sh, `==` in place of `=` is undefined.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(or "In dash, ... is not supported." when using `dash`)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/sh
|
||||||
|
if [ $1 == "-n" ]
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
dry_run=1
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/sh
|
||||||
|
if [ $1 = "-n" ]
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
dry_run=1
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`==` is used for equality comparison in C-like languages, and is also supported by `bash` and `ksh` in `[ .. ]` and `test` expressions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`sh` and `dash` only supports `=` for equality comparison, so use that instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you only intend to target shells that supports this feature, you can change
|
||||||
|
the shebang to a shell that guarantees support, or [[ignore]] this warning.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can use `# shellcheck disable=SC3000-SC4000` to ignore all such compatibility
|
||||||
|
warnings.
