Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 8
Release Status: release
Description:
BASH_COMMAND does not expand to the expected value when used in a
subshell inside a trap.
This is a variant of
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bash/2021-10/msg00269.html
In this case, as explained in the above message, the subshell `forgets'
that it's executing as part of the DEBUG trap. Since we're not in the
DEBUG trap, the value of BASH_COMMAND doesn't get updated. As a
consequence, since the expansion of the command happens in the subshell,
the original value (unexpanded in the parent shell) remains.
I think I might have to rethink this strategy. What do you think?
