No, you’re still misunderstanding what’s being done. ${server_service} is an injected string, the string is the whole contents of the file. That file is not stored locally on the server, except through being injected here(by a terraform file template). And no, printf won’t be any better than echo because its not format string, and I don’t want any formatting from printf applied to it.

I’m reading this and interpreting that line 27 of that script is

And your interpretation is wrong. Line 27 is actuallly

sudo echo "${server_service}" > /lib/systemd/system/server.service

${server_service} is read from the file I posted in the 2nd image. Since it was a test script I hadn’t bothered implementing any escaping tools, I wanted to make sure terraform allowed this first.

there is no purpose other than legacy of having replaced other commands

terraform(really is just a injection of a file() into a shell script)

I don’t think I did(though sometimes I do accidentally because of the Jeroba app UX)

No, because neither of those are the inputs. The input was the systemd file in the image. The whole command was not printed in the error, only surrounding context. The single-quote was indicating the ending of that context(because it was the end of the line) printed by the error.

The same thing was done with `)' on the first line of error

I don’t disagree, but this time its my fault

Sadly no, its injected with terraform templatefile, I already looked for a normal way to autoescape it, but from a brief look I couldn’t find one. I know there is a replace function that can take regex(RE2, which from my understanding prohibits * in lookbehinds)- but the simplest regex I could think of at nearly 6am for capturing only non-escaped quotes is /(?:^|[^\\])(?:(?:\\\\)+|[^\\]|^)(?'quote'")/gm. Though, I just realized if the quotes are escaped I would want to double escape them, so actually replacing all quotes with escaped quotes should be fine, also another limitation of this method is lines can’t have trailing \

To avoid having it hosted separately its injected into a shell script as a string

dsygraphia, I meant to say escape the quotes(you can see that because the comment wasn’t about comments but was instead about quotes)

Interesting

the script stopped running when the SSH session ended so never unblocked the ports

Yea and C++ is the same thing, you just need to enable all the warnings on clang-tidy

Nobody who has seen a yellow jacket nest in person would argue they’re pretty.

I’ve been slightly involved in the CAD space, have tried Fusion, Inventor, AutoCAD, OpenSCAD, and Blender- even edited some G-Code by hand. But, I have never once heard of that.

Yep

I like w3 css

And if you’re not to the level of interpretting natural contexts, and just need to expand your vocabulary I made a very imperfect browser extension to try to help with that

Or be me, and have a great commit history, 4 years ago, when I just committed random garbage.

Exactly, I don’t understand why languages have decided that every keyword needs to be as randomly minified as possible. fn, def, rune(ok that’s not minified, just a dumb name), fmt, std. Many of these things aren’t new, but programmers recognize descriptive variable names are important, the same should be true for keywords.
