[03:00:31] <wael[m]> Hi
[04:49:46] <testuser[m]> Hi
[13:19:14] <testuser[m]> phoebos: 
[13:19:38] <testuser[m]> why does this work https://termbin.com/tgsh
[13:19:41] <testuser[m]> but not this https://termbin.com/m57h
[13:28:08] <wael[m]> https://termbin.com/elf71
[13:30:15] <testuser[m]> the problem happens when u short circuit the outermost subshell
[13:31:38] <wael[m]> i believe it happens since there is `||` at the end of the recent subshell the outermost subshell's error is ignored
[13:32:02] <wael[m]> since `-e` flag is set
[13:32:18] <testuser[m]> but the code after || doesnt even get executed
[13:32:23] <testuser[m]> for some reason
[13:32:25] <testuser[m]> it should
[13:32:45] <wael[m]> https://termbin.com/m57h ?
[13:33:05] <testuser[m]> exit 1 isnt executed
[13:33:28] <wael[m]> because it exits on error without an error handler
[13:33:46] <testuser[m]> it doesnt cuz the lowermost unreachable is printed
[13:35:25] <testuser[m]> https://termbin.com/whlm 
[13:35:26] <testuser[m]> see
[13:35:29] <testuser[m]> this is with set -eu
[13:36:08] <wael[m]> the last command in the list hasnt returned with non-zero
[13:36:13] <wael[m]> so its seen as 'non-error' since its subshell
[13:36:26] <testuser[m]> hmmmmmmmm
[13:36:32] <testuser[m]> WTF
[13:37:46] <testuser[m]> WTF
[13:37:53] <wael[m]> ?
[13:38:44] <testuser[m]> nothing
[13:38:51] <testuser[m]> the behaviour doesntmake sense
[13:38:54] <testuser[m]> but its true
[13:39:00] <wael[m]> try it with symbol { } 
[13:39:16] <phoebos> set -e and || don't play well together
[13:39:27] <phoebos> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/65532/why-does-set-e-not-work-inside-subshells-with-parenthesis-followed-by-an-or/65564#65564
[13:39:33] <phoebos> i don't understand it tbh
[13:39:55] <testuser[m]> SO BAD
[13:40:15] <wael[m]> wtf
[13:40:27] <wael[m]> last time i seen shell scripting be confusing is when i got seg fault
[13:41:14] <testuser[m]> well i just added || return $? after all the sub-subshells
[13:41:16] <testuser[m]> seems to work
[13:41:22] <phoebos> i'm not sure why the exit doesn't run but the false doesn't cause it to exit because it's in an AND-OR list
[13:41:53] <phoebos> ie. a command failing is always permitted in that context
[13:47:23] <phoebos> so the false is permitted
[13:47:31] <phoebos> then the second echo is run
[13:47:54] <phoebos> which is successful, so the exit 1 doesn't run
[13:48:10] <phoebos> get rid of echo unreachable and exit 1 runs
