## 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.
