## This is interpreted as a command name containing '='. Bad assignment or comparison?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
"$var"=42
|
||||||
|
if "$var"=42
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
true
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
var=42
|
||||||
|
if [ "$var" = 42 ]
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
true
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ShellCheck found a command name containing an unquoted equals sign `=`. This was likely intended as either a comparison or an assignment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To compare two values, use e.g. `[ "$var" = "42" ]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To assign a value, use e.g. `var="42"`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None, though you can quote the `=` to make ShellCheck ignore it: `"$var=42"`.
