## In POSIX sh, unary `-v` (in place of `[ -n "${var+x}" ]`) is undefined.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/sh
|
||||||
|
if [ -v STY ]
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
echo "STY is set, you are using screen"
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Either switch to bash:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/sh
|
||||||
|
if [ -n "${STY+x}" ]
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
echo "STY is set, you are using screen"
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your script uses a shell feature not supported by the shebang. Either rewrite the script to be portable, or change the shebang to explicitly require a shell like Bash.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case, `[ -v variable ]` to check if a variable is set can be replaced with `[ -n "${variable+x}" ]` which uses the "alternative value if set" parameter expansion syntax to accomplish the same thing.
|
||||||

||||||

### Exceptions:

||||||
|
None
