I have the following script named run.sh:
#This is run.sh
prerequisite(){
config_file=./../config/config.sh
source $config_file
echo "VAR1 inside prerequisite: $VAR1"
echo "country currency inside prerequisite: $country_currency[@]"
}
LIST_OF_COUNTRIES=`cat country_list.txt`
transform() {
local country="$@"
prerequisite
echo "VAR1 inside transform: $VAR1"
echo "country currency inside transform: $country_currency[@]"
}
transform ${LIST_OF_COUNTRIES[@]} &
transformpid=$!
wait $transformpid
echo "Complete"
The content of my config.sh file is:
VAR1="value1"
declare -a country_currency=( "INR" "USD" "JPY" )
When I run my run.sh file, I get the following output:
VAR1 inside prerequisite: value1
country currency inside prerequisite: INR USD JPY
VAR1 inside transform: value1
country currency inside transform:
As I see from the output, the value of all the variables that I am sourcing from my config .sh file is getting fetching into the prerequisite function. Whereas the values in the array are not getting fetched into the transform function. This is just a small snippet of code. I am doing multiple calls to the prerequisite function to dynamically source the values in my actual code. What am I doing wrong over here? Isn't the scope of the variable and the array that I have declared, supposed to be the same?
