Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release
Description:
When PATH is empty, the command_not_found_handle function is not
called when a command is not found.
Repeat-By:
> bash -c 'command_not_found_handle() { echo ok; }; no-such-command'
ok
> bash -c 'PATH=; command_not_found_handle() { echo ok; }; no-such-command'
bash: line 1: no-such-command: No such file or directory
I verified this behavior on master as well.
Fix:
--- a/findcmd.c
+++ b/findcmd.c
@@ -632,3 +632,3 @@ find_user_command_in_path (name, path_list, flags, rflagsp)
if (path_list == 0 || *path_list == '\0')
- return (savestring (name)); /* XXX */
+ return ((char *)NULL);
This is very old code and I have no idea what the original intention
was in returning 'name' here or if doing so is still performing useful
work, but the tests pass at least.
Thank you for your attention!
Best, Moshe
