For bugs

  • Rule Id: SC3003:
  • My shellcheck version: online
  • I tried on https://www.shellcheck.net/ and verified that this is still a problem on the latest commit

For new checks and feature suggestions

Here's a snippet or screenshot that shows the problem:

#!/bin/sh
export var=$'\033[0m'

Here's what shellcheck currently says:

export VAR=$'\e[1;32m'
           ^-- [SC3003](https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC3003) (warning): In POSIX sh, $'..' is undefined.

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

Believe this could be a false positive. POSIX.1-2024 seems to have added this, under §2.2.4 Dollar-Single-Quotes.

Can be found at Austin Group's Bug Tracker: 0000249: Add standard support for $'...' in shell.

Ideally, the current warning should disappear for POSIX shells. Its functionality could be preserved in an optional flag to work with legacy shells.
