Fixes #3242

Description of changes:

  • reduce number of shellcheck warnings from 238 down to 104
    • rules: SC2002 SC2006 SC2061 SC2063 SC2086 SC2116 SC2148 SC2166 SC2196
    • 50 of the remaining warnings are false positives from build_cmake.sh (SC2086 SC2154)
  • refactor outdated maintainer shell scripts
  • remove deprecated shell syntax and shell commands
  • use POSIX alternatives to bashisms when the change is trivial
  • quote string variables to guard against whitespace-related issues
  • start unit tests before integration tests
  • run unit tests for all operating systems (Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedora)

Notes:

  • shellcheck is unsuitable for CI in its current form (e.g. no rule whitelisting capability)
  • the shell scripts now have an homogeneous syntax and few linter warnings, which is desirable if we decide to port them to Python in the future

POSIX does not specify test for > 4 arguments:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html

shellcheck rule: SC2166
POSIX allows both the legacy `cmd` and the new-style $(cmd) syntaxes:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_03
However, POSIX recommends using the new-style syntax, as it has less
restrictions and allows nesting without escape characters:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xcu_chap02.html#tag_23_02_06_03

shellcheck rule: SC2006
shellcheck rule: SC2086
The original pattern wouldn't work if a filename was the suffix of
another, e.g. `lb.py` would be marked as used in the CMakeLists.txt
because of a match at the line `python_test(FILE engine_lb.py)`.
The new pattern is also not a regular expression: the dot in the
file extension doesn't match any character, only the dot character.
Replace deprecated `egrep` by `grep -E`.

shellcheck rule: SC2196
Add a shebang in all shell scripts. Downgrade shebangs from Bash to
Dash (sh) in small scripts that don't use Bash-specific syntax. Use
the most portable shebang (`#!/usr/bin/env <shell>`) to include the
user $PATH in the search path.

shellcheck rule: SC2148
shellcheck rules: SC2002 SC2116
shellcheck rules: SC2061 SC2063
Separate unit tests from python tests. Run unit tests on Fedora,
Debian and OpenSUSE.

Is it possible to run the scripts in the CI in POSIX compatibility mode (e.g. using sh, and not bash)?
This would be a simple test that they actually are POSIX compatible.

Not really. For example build_cmake.sh has 12 bashisms. I've already downgraded scripts that could run in dash with trivial changes. For the less trivial bashisms, I could have a look if you want, but some of the known POSIX equivalents (see SC2039) don't look very maintainable.

Reduce bashisms. Downgrade shebangs from Bash to Dash (sh) in
POSIX-compliant shell scripts. Use the most portable shebang
(`#!/usr/bin/env <shell>`) to include the user $PATH in the
search path.

I've removed more bashisms, but several shell scripts still rely on useful bash-specific features:

  • variable indirections don't seem to have a POSIX equivalent without eval
  • shell traps: SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGQUIT automatically trigger SIGEXIT in bash, while in POSIX one has to write a custom trap for each one of them (e.g. a SIGINT trap must forward SIGINT)
  • $BASH_COMMAND and $LINENO don't exist in POSIX (useful for debug messages)
  • arrays only exist natively in bash
  • build_cmake.sh downloads and executes a codecov script which is not POSIX-compliant

List of bash scripts:

head -n 1 $(find maintainer/ testsuite/ -name "*.sh")
maintainer/CI/build_cmake.sh
maintainer/CI/build_docker.sh
maintainer/CI/doc_warnings.sh
maintainer/benchmarks/runner.sh
maintainer/benchmarks/suite.sh
testsuite/cmake/BashUnitTests.sh
testsuite/cmake/test_install.sh

I also don't think it is so super important. At the end of the day most of those scripts only run in an environment that we control.

Looks fine. We should really migrate this mess to Python scripts ASAP though.

/usr/bin/env sh is useless as /usr/bin/env is not guaranteed by POSIX (neither is /bin/sh, by the way). I would just use /bin/sh.

Here the idea was to be more portable, as the program env reads the user $PATH. I put this change in the POSIX bucket for convenience, since most scripts modified in that commit had heterogenous shebangs that needed fixing, although it has nothing to do with POSIX. In fact, sh might not even point to the dash interpreter.

LGTM, it seems like we develop a DevOps library in bash without knowing it 😄
