A bootstrap that fails to load leaves the run with no tests, no summary and
exit 0
— CI passes having executed nothing:

$ BASHUNIT_BOOTSTRAP=boot.sh bashunit tests/
boot.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `{'
$ echo $?
0

[ -f ] && source cannot catch it: source is a POSIX special builtin, so
a syntax error or a bare exit ends the shell at that point and nothing after
the call runs. The --env/--boot flag path already validated its file (#875);
the env-var path never did.

💡 Changes

  • Marker set before sourcing and cleared after; the existing EXIT trap reports one that was never cleared, covering both failure modes
  • Chosen over bash -n pre-validation, which costs an interpreter fork on every invocation — capped at 1 by bashunit_coldstart_forks_test.sh, and this repo has a bootstrap, so ~258 nested acceptance runs would pay it (fork budget tests still 11/11)
  • An absent bootstrap stays silent: the default path is one most projects do not have

A bootstrap that fails to load left the run with no tests, no summary and
exit 0, so CI passed having executed nothing. A bare 'exit' in the file was
worse: entirely silent.
[ -f ] && source cannot catch this. source is a POSIX special builtin, so a
syntax error in the file, or an exit, terminates the shell at that point --
'|| status=$?' never runs and nothing after the call executes. The --env/--boot
flag path already validated its file (#875); the env-var path never did.
bash -n would catch it but costs an interpreter fork on every invocation, which
the cold-start budget caps at 1, and this repo has a bootstrap -- all ~258
nested acceptance runs would pay it. Leave a marker instead and let the EXIT
trap report one that was never cleared: fork-free, and it covers both failure
modes.
An absent bootstrap stays silent: BASHUNIT_BOOTSTRAP defaults to
tests/bootstrap.sh, which most projects do not have.

🤔 Background

Related #1179

A bootstrap that fails to load leaves the run with no tests, no summary and
exit 0
— CI passes having executed nothing:

$ BASHUNIT_BOOTSTRAP=boot.sh bashunit tests/
boot.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `{'
$ echo $?
0

[ -f ] && source cannot catch it: source is a POSIX special builtin, so
a syntax error or a bare exit ends the shell at that point and nothing after
the call runs. The --env/--boot flag path already validated its file (#875);
the env-var path never did.

💡 Changes

  • Marker set before sourcing and cleared after; the existing EXIT trap reports one that was never cleared, covering both failure modes
  • Chosen over bash -n pre-validation, which costs an interpreter fork on every invocation — capped at 1 by bashunit_coldstart_forks_test.sh, and this repo has a bootstrap, so ~258 nested acceptance runs would pay it (fork budget tests still 11/11)
  • An absent bootstrap stays silent: the default path is one most projects do not have

A bootstrap that fails to load left the run with no tests, no summary and
exit 0, so CI passed having executed nothing. A bare 'exit' in the file was
worse: entirely silent.
[ -f ] && source cannot catch this. source is a POSIX special builtin, so a
syntax error in the file, or an exit, terminates the shell at that point --
'|| status=$?' never runs and nothing after the call executes. The --env/--boot
flag path already validated its file (#875); the env-var path never did.
bash -n would catch it but costs an interpreter fork on every invocation, which
the cold-start budget caps at 1, and this repo has a bootstrap -- all ~258
nested acceptance runs would pay it. Leave a marker instead and let the EXIT
trap report one that was never cleared: fork-free, and it covers both failure
modes.
An absent bootstrap stays silent: BASHUNIT_BOOTSTRAP defaults to
tests/bootstrap.sh, which most projects do not have.
Closes#1179
