Description (last modified by )
I wanted to do some testing of Sage in a loop and would check the return code to see if what I used worked or not. But this is impossible, as Sage appears to exit with 0, even if it should not have. In the example below, I try to install a non-existent package using Sage. The return code in a case like this should be non-zero, but it is not.

The same happens if one uses sage -i
to install a package. If it fails, the exit code is still 0.
In contrast, if I try this with a well written command like ls
drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.5.2$ ls some-non-existant-package some-non-existant-package: No such file or directory drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.5.2$ $? bash: 2: command not found
the exit code is non-zero - in this case 2.
Also on a similar theme is #9799, showing that make
can exit with the wrong code too.
Apply
to the Sage scripts repository.

Replying to leif:
Well, you did
sage -f ...
... I wonder what Sage returns if you dosage -i ...
instead... ;-)
The Sage. It still exits with an exit code of zero.
Btw,
sage-spkg
has lots of other flaws. I'm considering writing (and using) my own version, since I doubt the bunch of changes I aim at would get merged soon... (Same for the top-level Makefile, which by the way was namedmakefile
, I guess by some DOS programmer.)Hopefully not too many people read our tickets... :D
More, should I think.

From sage-sage
:
... install() { cd "$SAGE_ROOT/spkg" if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then sage-spkg exit $? fi OPT="$1" shift if [ "$1" = '-m' -o "$1" = '-s' ]; then OPT=$OPT" "$1 shift fi SAGE_LOGS="$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/logs" if [ ! -d "$SAGE_LOGS" ]; then mkdir -p "$SAGE_LOGS" fi for PKG in "$@" do echo "Calling sage-spkg on $PKG" PKG_NAME=`echo "$PKG" | sed -e "s/\.spkg$//"` PKG_NAME=`basename "$PKG_NAME"` case $PKG in /*) sage-spkg $OPT "$PKG" 2>&1 | (trap "" SIGINT; tee -a ../install.log "$SAGE_LOGS/$PKG_NAME".log) ;; *) sage-spkg $OPT "$CUR/$PKG" 2>&1 | (trap "" SIGINT; tee -a ../install.log "$SAGE_LOGS/$PKG_NAME".log) ;; esac if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1 fi shift done exit $? } ... if [ "$1" = '-i' ]; then shift echo "Installing $@" install " " "$@" fi if [ "$1" = '-f' ]; then shift echo "Force installing $@" install -f "$@" fi ...
So once again, we get the exit status of tee
rather than that of sage-spkg
.

Using pipestatus
there, too (i.e. in sage-sage
) most probably requires #10157.

comment:7 Changed 9 years ago by
- Component changed from build to scripts
- Dependencies set to #10157
- Description modified (diff)
- Keywords sage-sage return code status pipestatus tee added
- Status changed from new to needs_review
- Summary changed from sage exits with 0, even if it is unable to install a package. to `sage -i ...` exits with 0, even if it is unable to install a package.
Attached patch fixes the exit code (by using pipestatus
) and a few minor things in that area of sage-sage
.
(I haven't changed more since there are other tickets already touching sage-sage
especially there, which may need slight rebasing on the patch here though.)

Fixed a typo in a comment.
Sorry, patch (diff) doesn't look very nice, as I've changed the indentation (and replaced spaces by tabs).
