Pattern: Use of ln
without destination
Issue: -
This may be because the source and destination was accidentally merged into a single argument, because the line was broken in an invalid way, or because you're using a non-standard invocation of ln
that defaults to linking the argument into the current directory.
If you wanted to specify both source and destination, fix the ln
statement.
If you wanted to link a file into the current directory, prefer using the more explicit and POSIX standard invocation ln /your/file .
Example of incorrect code:
ln "$file $dir"
or
ln /foo/bar/baz
Example of correct code:
ln "$file" "$dir"
or
ln /foo/bar/baz .
