Running into strange errors when executing ./00_common.sh or ./05e_checkPoolOnChain.sh

[DLTS-FD]

Environment: MacOS 14.6.1 (23G93) Mode: light mode (no local cardano node)

I want to check my pool status in order to conduct a pool de-registration.

In the mainnet -folder, I update the file ./00_common.sh to use in "light" mode. I also added a path to a cardano-cli in version 9.1.0 just in case.

When I try to run ./00_common.sh

It gives me an error:

-n

Or maybe you have set the wrong parameter network="mainnet" ?

When I check line 179 it shows to me

case "${network,,}" in

         "mainnet" )
                 network="Mainnet"               #nicer name for info-display

                 ;;

Which makes we wonder if the two commas in case "${network,,} are wrong.

hi, 00_common.sh is not supposed to be run by its own. its automatically sourced by the other scripts.

which bash version do you run? i know that on some macs the bash version is just too old to use all the functions. in your case its complaining about the ${network,,} variables. which basically does represent the content of the network-variable, but in lower-case format.

can you check your bash version by running the command: bash --version on the command line please?

thx!

Hey @gitmachtl , that's right I don't intend to run 00_common.sh on it's own but it is the same behaviour as when I call ./05e_checkPoolOnChain.sh PoolTicker because it will run 00_common.sh first.

Good point, actually I was using zsh, not bash (mac OS default terminal). When I check the available bash version it shows GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (arm64-apple-darwin23)

Probably I have to run the scripts on bash, not on zsh, right?

[DLTS-FD]

Using bash 3.2 it still behaves the same

bash-3.2$ ./00_common.sh 
./00_common.sh: line 179: ${network,,}: bad substitution

         `~~`\ ' . /`~~`
              ;   ;
              /   \

Upgraded to bash 5. The error is not popping up any more :-)

Now it complains about wrong file path for my cardano-cli, so I will check my settings again.

Conclusion: MacOs is insane for not automatically upgrade from bash 3 to bash 5 😁

Hey @gitmachtl,

now I get the error message my cardano-cli would be too old but I downloaded the latest cardano node from https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node/releases where the cardano-cli is inside the "bin" folder.

$ ./00_common.sh 

         _ ._  _ , _ ._
        (_ ' ( `  )_  .__)
      ( (  (    )   `)  ) _)
     (__ (_   (_ . _) _) ,__)
         `~~`\ ' . /`~~`
              ;   ;
              /   \

Older versions are not supported for compatibility issues, please upgrade - thx.

[gitmachtl]

yes, thats expected. please download and copy over the latest cardano-cli release 9.3.0.0

hey @gitmachtl thanks for support! Finally I gave up on running the scripts on a mac and moved back to good old linux machine :)
