Ambigous args when sourcing another bash file in a bash file
I create a bash file test.sh. The content of this bash is like below:
#!/bin/bash
#source another file
export ICS_START=/rdrive/ics/itools/unx/bin/
source $ICS_START/icssetup.sh
XMAIN=false
MAINLINE=false
STARTDIR=${PWD}
# Get args.
usage() {
echo "Usage: $0 [-t <timestamp>] [-m] [-x]"
exit 1
}
parse_args(){
while getopts "ht:mx" OPT; do
case $OPT in
t) DATE=${OPTARG};;
m) MAINLINE=true;;
x) XMAIN=true;;
h) usage;;
?) usage;;
esac
done
}
echo "$@"
parse_args "$@"
#other commands
myrun -d xxx -p xxx --time xxxx
I run this bash file with ./test.sh -t xxx -m -x
During this process,the second source command is affected by the args -t xxx -m -x
, it always throw errors as :
Ambigous switch. Please use more characters. I think icssetup.sh also define these args so we have conflicts with each other. How could I avoid this without changing arg characters?
I checked that the first two lines(source command) and the parse_args can both work well separately.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is something that happens with bash but not other shells. The arguments of your script are passed to any sourced script.
A simple example showing this:
test.sh
#!/bin/bash
source source.sh
echo Original Script: $# : $@
source.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo Sourced Script $# : $@
When you run test.sh, you see that even if no arguments are passed to the sourced script, it actually receives the original script arguments:
# ./test.sh a b
Sourced Script 2 : a b
Original script: 2 : a b
If you're attempting to pass no arguments to the sourced script, you might try to force it like:
source $ICS_START/icssetup.sh ""
