Package: npm
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2
Severity: important
If the `npm` bash completion is interrupted, the IFS variable in the
shell becomes corrupted so that now basically very little works,
including aliases with spaces in.
For example:
$ alias ls
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
$ ls
[currently works]
Now cause a completion that gets interrupted, by hitting <Tab> and then
<Ctrl-C>
$ npm install l<Tab><Ctrl-C>
At this point the alias is now broken
$ ls
ls: invalid argument ‘auto -h’ for ‘--color’
Valid arguments are:
- ‘always’, ‘yes’, ‘force’
- ‘never’, ‘no’, ‘none’
- ‘auto’, ‘tty’, ‘if-tty’
Try 'ls --help' for more information.
This bug comes from the completion script trying to save and restore
changes to IFS by its own local variable of $si, rather than simply
doing
local IFS
