id=debugging-a-script>Debugging a script<a class=headerlink href=#debugging-a-script title="Permanent link">¶</a></h1> <p>These few lines are not intended as a full-fledged debugging tutorial, but as hints and comments about debugging a Bash script.</p> <h2 id=use-a-unique-name-for-your-script>Use a unique name for your script<a class=headerlink href=#use-a-unique-name-for-your-script title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Do <strong>not</strong> name your script <code>test</code>, for example! <em>Why?</em> <code>test</code> is the name of a UNIX®-command, and <u>most likely built into your shell</u> (it's a built-in in Bash) - so you won't be able to run a script with the name <code>test</code> in a normal way.</p> <p><strong>Don't laugh!</strong> This is a classic mistake :-)</p> <h2 id=read-the-error-messages>Read the error messages<a class=headerlink href=#read-the-error-messages title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Many people come into IRC and ask something like <em>"Why does my script fail? I get an error!"</em>. And when you ask them what the error message is, they don't even know. Beautiful.</p> <p>Reading and interpreting error messages is 50% of your job as debugger! Error messages actually <strong>mean</strong> something. At the very least, they can give you hints as to where to start debugging. <strong>READ YOUR ERROR MESSAGES!</strong></p> <p>You may ask yourself why is this mentioned as debugging tip? Well, <u>you would be surprised how many shell users ignore the text of error messages!</u> When I find some time, I'll paste 2 or 3 IRC log-snips here, just to show you that annoying fact.</p> <h2 id=use-a-good-editor>Use a good editor<a class=headerlink href=#use-a-good-editor title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Your choice of editor is a matter of personal preference, but one with <strong>Bash syntax highlighting</strong> is highly recommended! Syntax highlighting helps you see (you guessed it) syntax errors, such as unclosed quotes and braces, typos, etc.</p> <p>From my personal experience, I can suggest <code>vim</code> or <code>GNU emacs</code>.</p> <h2 id=write-logfiles>Write logfiles<a class=headerlink href=#write-logfiles title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>For more complex scripts, it's useful to write to a log file, or to the system log. Nobody can debug your script without knowing what actually happened and what went wrong.</p> <p>An available syslog interface is <code>logger</code> (<a href=http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?logger+1>online manpage</a>).</p> <h2 id=inject-debugging-code>Inject debugging code<a class=headerlink href=#inject-debugging-code title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Insert <strong>echos</strong> everywhere you can, and print to <code>stderr</code>:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>echo "DEBUG: current i=$i" >&2

|
</code></pre></div> <p>If you read input from <strong>anywhere</strong>, such as a file or <a href=../../syntax/expansion/cmdsubst/ >command substitution</a>, print the debug output with literal quotes, to see leading and trailing spaces!</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>pid=$(< fooservice.pid)

echo "DEBUG: read from file: pid=\"$pid\"" >&2
|

</code></pre></div> <p>Bash's <a href=../../commands/builtin/printf/ >printf</a> command has the <code>%q</code> format, which is handy for verifying whether strings are what they appear to be.</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>foo=$(< inputfile)

Add this assignment <a href=../../syntax/shellvars/#PS4>PS4</a> at the beginning of your script to enable the inclusion of that information:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>export PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE}:${LINENO}): ${FUNCNAME[0]:+${FUNCNAME[0]}(): }'

</code></pre></div> <p><strong>Be sure to use single quotes here!</strong></p> <p>The output would look like this when you trace code <em>outside a function</em>:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>+(somefile.bash:412): echo 'Hello world'
|

|
|
# be sure to append || : or || true here or use return 0, since the return code
|
|
# of this function should always be 0 to not influence anything else with an unwanted
|
|
# "false" return code (for example the script's exit code if this function is used
|
|
# as the very last command in the script)
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>This function does nothing when <code>script_debug</code> is unset or empty, but it executes the given parameters as commands when <code>script_debug</code> is set. Use it like this:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>script_debug=1
|
|
# to turn it off, set script_debug=0
|
|
|
|
debugme logger "Sorting the database"
|
|
database_sort
|
|
debugme logger "Finished sorting the database, exit code $?"
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>Of course this can be used to execute something other than echo during debugging:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>debugme set -x

debugme set +x

</code></pre></div> <p>you most likely have an alias defined with the same name as the function (here: <code>foo</code>). Alias expansion happens before the real language interpretion, thus the alias is expanded and makes your function definition invalid.</p> <h2 id=the-crlf-issue>The CRLF issue<a class=headerlink href=#the-crlf-issue title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <h3 id=what-is-the-crlf-issue>What is the CRLF issue?<a class=headerlink href=#what-is-the-crlf-issue title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>There's a big difference in the way that UNIX® and Microsoft® (and possibly others) handle the <strong>line endings</strong> of plain text files. The difference lies in the use of the CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line Feed) characters.</p> <ul> <li>MSDOS uses: <code>\r\n</code> (ASCII <code>CR</code> #13 <code>^M</code>, ASCII LF #10)</li> <li>UNIX® uses: <code>\n</code> (ASCII <code>LF</code> #10)</li> </ul> <p>Keep in mind your script is a <strong>plain text file</strong>, and the <code>CR</code> character means nothing special to UNIX® - it is treated like any other character. If it's printed to your terminal, a carriage return will effectively place the cursor at the beginning of the <em>current</em> line. This can cause much confusion and many headaches, since lines containing CRs are not what they appear to be when printed. In summary, CRs are a pain.</p> <h3 id=how-did-a-cr-end-up-in-my-file>How did a CR end up in my file?<a class=headerlink href=#how-did-a-cr-end-up-in-my-file title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>Some possible sources of CRs:</p> <ul> <li>a DOS/Windows text editor</li> <li>a UNIX® text editor that is "too smart" when determining the file content type (and thinks "<em>it's a DOS text file</em>")</li> <li>a direct copy and paste from certain webpages (some pastebins are known for this)</li> </ul> <h3 id=why-do-crs-hurt>Why do CRs hurt?<a class=headerlink href=#why-do-crs-hurt title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>CRs can be a nuisance in various ways. They are especially bad when present in the shebang/interpreter specified with <code>#!</code> in the very first line of a script. Consider the following script, written with a Windows® text editor (<code>^M</code> is a symbolic representation of the <code>CR</code> carriage return character!):</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>#!/bin/bash^M
|
|
^M
|
|
echo "Hello world"^M
|
|
...
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>Here's what happens because of the <code>#!/bin/bash^M</code> in our shebang:</p> <ul> <li>the file <code>/bin/bash^M</code> doesn't exist (hopefully)</li> <li>So Bash prints an error message which (depending on the terminal, the Bash version, or custom patches!) may or may not expose the problem.</li> <li>the script can't be executed</li> </ul> <p>The error message can vary. If you're lucky, you'll get:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>bash: ./testing.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>which alerts you to the CR. But you may also get the following:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>Why? Because when printed literally, the <code>^M</code> makes the cursor go back to the beginning of the line. The whole error message is <em>printed</em>, but you <em>see</em> only part of it!</p> <div class="admonition warning"> <p class=admonition-title>warning</p> <p>It's easy to imagine the <code>^M</code> is bad in other places too. If you get weird and illogical messages from your script, rule out the possibility that<code>^M</code> is involved.
