Hi guys and thanks for the quick reply. I think Greg had a good point there mentioning my PS1. I have it slightly modified for my personal needs but this is happening even though I run bash with --norc flag
A piece of my ~/.bashrc file is as follows: color_enabled() { local -i colors=$(tput colors 2>/dev/null) [[ $? -eq 0 ]] && [[ $colors -gt 2 ]] } BOLD_FORMAT="${BOLD_FORMAT-$(color_enabled && tput bold)}" ERROR_FORMAT="${ERROR_FORMAT-$(color_enabled && tput setaf 1)}" WARNING_FORMAT="${WARNING_FORMAT-$(color_enabled && tput setaf 3)}" INFO_FORMAT="${INFO_FORMAT-$(color_enabled && tput setaf 4)}" RESET_FORMAT="${RESET_FORMAT-$(color_enabled && tput sgr0)}" # Exit code export PS1='$(exit_code=$?; [[ $exit_code -eq 0 ]] && printf %s \[$BOLD_FORMAT\]\[$INFO_FORMAT\]\h:\w \[$RESET_FORMAT\]$ " " || printf %s \[$BOLD_FORMAT\]\[$ERROR_FORMAT\]\h:\w[$exit_code]\[$RESET_FORMAT\]$ " ")' On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 5:49 PM Chet Ramey <chet.ra...@case.edu> wrote: > On 12/12/18 11:36 AM, Valentin Bajrami wrote: > > While playing around a bit with dotglob and nullglob the following > testcase > > seem to fail when cd'ing to a non existing directory.
