Expressions in variable using "$1" do not resolve correctly

[Quasarman]

What happened?

I am trying to put the expression $( [ $1 == "dev" ] && echo "true" || echo "false" ) inside a variable to use the result in various places in my config. But it does not seem to correctly resolve the "$1" since the expression always results to false regardless if calling devspace dev or not.

What did you expect to happen instead?

I expect the variable to be resolved correctly.

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

1. Put the following inside your devspace config

vars:
  TEST_VAR_EXPRESSION: $( [ $1 == "print" ] && echo "true" || echo "false" )

1. Call devspace print
2. Inspect that the variable is false

You can also change the $1 == "print" to any string really it will always return false.

My devspace.yaml:

version: v2beta1

vars:
  DEV_MODE: $( [ $1 == "dev" ] && echo "true" || echo "false" )

...
deployments:
  my-deployment:
      helm:
        chart:
          name: my/chart
        values:
          debug: ${DEV_MODE}
...

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: 6.2.2
• Operating System: windows
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64 Kubernetes Cluster:
• Cloud Provider: other
• Kubernetes Version:
  • Client Version: v1.25.0
  • Kustomize Version: v4.5.7
  • Server Version: v1.24.2

Anything else we need to know?

Nope.
