I cannot confirm this. The only part of hush which is involved here is the && processing which works fine for me..
"test" is NOT a hush builtin.
I hit the send button too early...
Yes, "test" is not a hush builtin, but it is only available if the hush parser is enabled.
Sure:
TRAB # foo= TRAB # test -n "$foo" && echo yes TRAB # test -n "$foo" || echo no no TRAB # test "$foo" && echo yes TRAB # test "$foo" || echo no no TRAB # foo=dummy TRAB # test -n "$foo" && echo yes yes TRAB # test -n "$foo" || echo no TRAB # test "$foo" && echo yes TRAB # test "$foo" || echo no no
THe only problem I see is with "test -z":
TRAB # foo= TRAB # test -z "$foo" && echo yes TRAB # test -z "$foo" || echo no no but TRAB # test -z "" && echo yes yes TRAB # test -z "" || echo no TRAB #
No, I think this is misleading. A quick debugging session showed that the problem is not the "test" command itself. With 'test -z ""' and 'test -n ""', the command will correctly see three arguments. However, with 'test -n "$foo"' and 'test -z "$foo"' (and empty $foo), the command will only get two arguments which always results in a return value of 1. That's why 'test -n' seems to work.
