Use cd ... || exit in case cd fails.

Problematic code:

cd generated_files
rm -r *.c

func(){
  cd foo
  do_something
}

Correct code:

cd generated_files || exit
rm -r *.c

# For functions, you may want to use return:
func(){
  cd foo || return
  do_something
}

Rationale:

cd can fail for a variety of reasons: misspelled paths, missing directories, missing permissions, broken symlinks and more.

If/when it does, the script will keep going and do all its operations in the wrong directory. This can be messy, especially if the operations involve creating or deleting a lot of files.

To avoid this, make sure you handle the cases when cd fails. Ways to do this include

• cd foo || exit as suggested to just abort immediately
• if cd foo; then echo "Ok"; else echo "Fail"; fi for custom handling
• <(cd foo && cmd) as an alternative to <(cd foo || exit; cmd) in <(..), $(..) or ( )

Exceptions:

ShellCheck does not give this warning when cd is on the left of a || or &&, or the condition of a if, while or until loop. Having a set -e command anywhere in the script will disable this message, even though it won't necessarily prevent the issue.

If you are accounting for cd failures in a way shellcheck doesn't realize, you can disable this message with a [[directive]].

MD033 - Inline HTML

Tags: html

Aliases: no-inline-html

This rule is triggered whenever raw HTML is used in a markdown document:

Inline HTML header

To fix this, use 'pure' markdown instead of including raw HTML:

# Markdown header

Rationale: Raw HTML is allowed in markdown, but this rule is included for those who want their documents to only include "pure" markdown, or for those who are rendering markdown documents in something other than HTML.

Can't follow non-constant source. Use a directive to specify location.

Problematic code:

. "$(find_install_dir)/lib.sh"

Correct code:

# shellcheck source=src/lib.sh
. "$(find_install_dir)/lib.sh"

Rationale:

ShellCheck is not able to include sourced files from paths that are determined at runtime. The file will not be read, potentially resulting in warnings about unassigned variables and similar.

Use a [[Directive]] to point shellcheck to a fixed location it can read instead.

Exceptions:

If you don't care that ShellCheck is unable to account for the file, specify # shellcheck source=/dev/null.

Useless echo? Instead of echo $(cmd), just use cmd

Problematic code:

echo "$(cat 1.txt)"
echo `< /dev/urandom tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c6`

Correct code:

cat 1.txt # In bash, but faster and still sticks exactly one newline: printf '%s\n' "$(<1.txt)"
# The original `echo` sticks a newline; we want it too.
< /dev/urandom tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c6; echo

Rationale

The command substitution $(foo) yields the result of command foo with trailing newlines erased, and when it is passed to echo it generally just gives the same result as foo.

Exceptions

One may want to use command substitutions plus echo to make sure there is exactly one trailing newline. The special command substitution $(<file) in bash is also un-outline-able.

Anyway, echo is still not that reliable (see [[SC2039#echo-flags]]) and printf should be used instead.
