Nested source commands inside scripts under testing

[OleksandrKucherenko]

Hi,

I try to write tests for my scripts - https://github.com/OleksandrKucherenko/e-bash

I have a situation when I rely on the chain of loading commands, when one of the scripts load/source the source of another and after that works with declared functions.

# file _commonns.sh

# shellcheck disable=SC1090  source=_colors.sh
source "$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)/_colors.sh"

# shellcheck disable=SC1090 source=_logger.sh
source "$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)/_logger.sh"
logger common "$@" # register own logger

in last line from code fragment I try to use function that is declared inside the _logger.sh file, and shellspec gives me the error:

.scripts/_commons.sh: line 21: pop_var_context: head of shell_variables not a function context

Unexpected output to stderr occurred at line 1-9 in 'spec/commons_spec.sh'

if I comment the logger line, everything is working. I understand that is possible to override the logic, but I need to understand why the nested source calls does not work as expected. Can it be fixed? maybe provided some kind of flag that will force the loading of the sub-script?

Thanks
