"bad variable name", maybe JID incorrectly parsed?

[nicolas-raoul]

shell-xmpp-client dies with "bad variable name".
Not sure it is related, but from what I see it seems to trunk the first part of the Jabber id:

$ ./xmpp.sh --connect --jid dalobadoy@chat.facebook.com --pass fAeo4t829d88U49t
./xmpp.sh: 381: local: y@chat.facebook.com: bad variable name

Using latest Git version on Ubuntu 2014.04

I think this is a dash problem. There is an old bug report about dash not implementing 'local' correctly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/139097

Could you please try with bash (or zsh) again?

It shouldn't be hard to fix all 'local' calls. I will put this onto my todo list.

[nicolas-raoul]

I have never used dash.

The bug above is with bash, as it comes by default on Ubuntu.

interesting. I will try to reproduce this in a ubuntu 2014.04 virtualbox.

If I can't reproduce this I might need your debug file (--debug-file /tmp/debug.txt).

thanks for the fast reply.

As mentioned in issue #4, this might be because the script starts with #!/bin/sh

It apparently works when called with #!/bin/bash

I will try to reproduce this.
