Set all variables to their known defaults if they aren't already set

e_nomem, 3 months ago

@hazelweakly Reminds me of when I wrote bash functions that took an array as an input argument...

myarray=(some stuff here)

array_as_arg() {  
 arrayname="$1[@]"  
 input_array=( "${!arrayname}" )

 echo "${input_array[@]}"  
}

array_as_arg myarray

Other goodies from this cursed script

declare -A derived_variable_defaults=(
[KUBECONFIG_PATH]="./${CLUSTER:-dev}-kubeconfig.yaml"
[USE_SSO]="$([[ -z $CI ]] && printf -- "--with-sso")"
[helmfile_image]="${ACCOUNT_ID}.dkr.ecr-fips.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/helmfile:0.1-amd64"
[BASE_REGISTRY]="${registries["$ACCOUNT_ID:$CLUSTER"]-$(warn_var "registries[$ACCOUNT_ID:$CLUSTER]")}"
[helm_cmd]="$([[ ${@: -1} =~ ^(--diff|--deploy)$ ]] && echo "${helm_flag_to_cmd["${@: -1}"]}" || "diff")"
)

@hazelweakly Of course it had to be #kubernetes related...

Be honest and point on the doll where the bash script hurt you

@hazelweakly Dunno, neither shellcheck nor the bash’s I’ve tried like that derived_variable_defaults=( … initialization. But props for using an interpreter that’ll be found on an otherwise bare bones platform without needing a dependency installed.

@jwd630 this code is actually specifically written in a way that is set -euo pipefail compliant, shellcheck compliant, and shellharden compliant

It's great ;D

@hazelweakly I learned something about bash associative array initialization while diving down the rabbit hole of your code snippets, before I hung it up realizing I was being that guy - so there's that.

@jwd630 my condolences! Or, you're welcome. Take your poison :)

@hazelweakly I'd vote "I didn't know bash could do this", but I use a letsencrypt helper that talks to Namecheap's JSON API and it's written entirely in bash.

That thing I try not to look at too hard, in case it eats me.

@hazelweakly it is at this point two weeks ago that you should have considered doing that in go or python. Good luck with it in another two weeks. 😁

@hazelweakly other: i am literally writing a better scripting, jigs, and cli tool making language just to stop these atrocities to spread now

@hazelweakly one question: is it shellcheck clean?

hazelweakly, 2 months ago

@mxk always! I have it running in my editor at all time and always set -euo pipefail
