## This array element has no value. Remove spaces after = or use "" for empty string.
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
array=([1]=one [2]= two)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
array=([1]=one [2]=two)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You have an array element on the form `[index]=`. The shell will interpret this as an independent element with index `index` and value `<empty string>`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This may happen as part of the expression `[index]= value`, where the space is not allowed and causes the shell to interpret it as `[index]="" [index+1]=value`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you wanted the element to have a value, remove the spaces after `=`, e.g. `[index]=value`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you wanted to assign an empty string, explicitly use emtpy quotes: `[index]=""`. This makes no difference to the shell, but will make your intention clear to shellcheck and other humans.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None.
