Bash-TPL

A Smart, Lightweight shell script templating engine, written in Bash.

Release - v0.5.0

chore: GitHub workflow to run tests against various Bash versions

Added a github worfkflow to execute the bats tests against multiple versions of Bash

I even wrote a blog post about it.

chore: Apply newly reported shellcheck recommendations

I updated shellcheck at some point after my last release and it started reporting a new error:

• SC2184 - Quote arguments to unset so they're not glob expanded.

Although this SC has been around for a long time, I'm certain that seeing it in my shellcheck report is new.

fix: Track indentation after all statement lines, not just between logical "open"/"close"

I was writing a template with an if/else/fi block and realized that bash-tpl wasn't correctly tracking indentation on the else section.

% # one
	1: This text should be indent-tracked
% # two
	2: This text should be indent-tracked
% # three
	3: This text should be indent-tracked

Previously, section 2 was not being correctly tracked.

I was treating the first encountered statement line as an maybe-open and any subsequent line as a cose, when in fact they should always be seen as a maybe-open and a maybe-close

Breaking Change

Due to the possible changes in leading whitespace in template output, this is considered a breaking change.

fix: Stop ignoring unindented directives in text blocks

There was a real bug that was dropping directive statements when were part of a text block, but did not exist at the same (or deeper) indentation of the text block.

I only discovered this by accident while writing a test for the indentation fix above.
