Subject: tests: fix false fails due to passing env vars to returns_
X-Git-Tag: v8.26~29
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=055b08ff7853c7c9ab791643047b1b163a227013;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: fix false fails due to passing env vars to returns_

On BSD /bin/sh it was seen that unexported env vars passed to
returns_() would not be propagated to the wrapped command.

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_env_returns): Add a syntax check to disallow.
* tests/misc/csplit-io-err.sh: Rearrange to export vars in a subshell.
* tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/nohup.sh: Export and unset vars around returns_.
* tests/misc/printenv.sh: Likewise.
