I’ve got this command in a bash script:
TEST=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" -u "${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD}" "${URL}/dashboard/")
echo "${TEST}" #debug
When the script runs, the output is “000”.
When I run the same curl command from the shell, the output is “200” (which is correct, since the URL is valid).
I verified that the USERNAME, PASSWORD, and URL vars are being passed to the subshell.
I’d appreciate it if you could point out what I’m doing wrong here. :)
UPDATE: This has been solved.
Someone else suggested the env vars arent being expanded correctly inside the $(curl …), which could be the culprit … If a straight up URL works that would indicate that something like that is happening.
That said, I just tried setting an env var called URL=“” and curling it, and curl said exit code 2, no URL specified, so something else is going on here.
changing how I called
ssh
in the background made the difference (https://lemmy.thewooskeys.com/comment/521006).Thanks for your time and assistance
