[bash 4] 'test -v 1' is never true

[Alejandro Colomar]

Hi!




    test -v 1;



Is this a known bug in bash?


Cheers,

Alex

I wrote a script, and am trying it on many systems. On RHEL8, which has bash 4, it didn't work. I could reduce the problem to the following command, which never returns true: In Debian Sid, where I develop, and where I have bash 5, that works fine, and is true if the function or script in which it is has any arguments. On zsh(1) it also works fine. The exact version where I can reproduce it is 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu).
