SC1090 - how to follow a remote file?

[joergi]

SC1090 - Can't follow non-constant source. Use a directive to specify location.

I understand, that if I load a file in a another directory, I have to specify it, as mentioned here

If you see my pull request, I load a script from another github repository.
I haven't seen anything in the documentation, how to follow a remote file.

#!/bin/bash

# shellcheck source=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joergi/downloader/master/linux_mac/downloader.sh
source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joergi/downloader/master/linux_mac/downloader.sh) "$downloadUrl" "$recentIssue" "$@"

Here's what shellcheck currently says:

source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joergi/downloader/master/linux_mac/downloader.sh) "$downloadUrl" "$recentIssue" "$@"
       ^-- SC1091: Not following: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joergi/downloader/master/linux_mac/downloader.sh was not specified as input (see shellcheck -x).

This is now showing SC1091 - but if I don't have the # shellcheck source=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joergi/downloader/master/linux_mac/downloader.sh, I got the SC1090

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

I wanted to know, if I should ignore the one with # shellcheck disable=SC1090 of if there is a possibility to check it, even it is a remote file.

ShellCheck does not support downloading files. My suggestion would be one of:

• Use bash instead of source since it appears that you simply want to run this script, not necessarily source it
• Just #shellcheck source=/dev/null to ignore the file, since checking this file would be up to the repo in which it lives and not yours

Thx a lot. Maybe a note in the Readme for SC1090 would be nice? Or is this too obvious?
