< p > Situation: You are executing other scripts from a manifest.
This script fails, but cdist does not recognise the error.
An example script would be something like this:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-sh" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > % cat ~/.cdist/manifest/init
< span class = "s2" > " < / span > < span class = "nv" > $__manifest< / span > < span class = "s2" > /special" < / span >
% cat ~/.cdist/manifest/special
< span class = "c1" > #!/bin/sh< / span >
< span class = "nb" > echo< / span > < span class = "s2" > " Here is an unclean exiting script" < / span >
somecommandthatdoesnotexist
< span class = "nb" > echo< / span > < span class = "s2" > " I continue here although previous command failed" < / span >
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >
< p > We can clearly see that < strong > somecommandthatdoesnotexist< / strong >
will fail in ~/.cdist/manifest/special. But as the custom
script is not called with the -e flag (exit on failure) of shell,
it does not lead to an error. And thus cdist sees the exit 0
code of the last echo line instead of the failing command.< / p >
< p > All scripts executed by cdist carry the -e flag.
To prevent the above from happening, there are three solutions available,
two of which can be used in the calling script:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-sh" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > < span class = "c1" > # Execute as before, but abort on failure< / span >
sh -e < span class = "s2" > " < / span > < span class = "nv" > $__manifest< / span > < span class = "s2" > /special" < / span >
< span class = "c1" > # Source the script in our namespace, runs in a set -e environment:< / span >
. < span class = "s2" > " < / span > < span class = "nv" > $__manifest< / span > < span class = "s2" > /special" < / span >
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >
< p > The third solution is to include a shebang header in every script
you write to use the -e flag:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-sh" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > % cat ~/.cdist/manifest/special
< span class = "c1" > #!/bin/sh -e< / span >
