I use the verbose version for readability:
set -o errexit
set -o nounset
set -o pipefail
Some commands need custom error handling, which means turning off -e: set +o errexit
ansible-playbook ...
if [[ "$?" != "0" ]]; then
echo -e "\e[1;31m""Error when executing ansible!""\e[0m"
exit 1
fi
set -o errexit
And if you use -e , you will probably need the default value helper to validate input arguments: # the :- operator means "use the right side value if the left side ($1) is not set"
env=${1:-}
inventoryFile="${baseDir}/env/${env}/inventory"
if [[ -f "${inventoryFile}" ]]; then
echo -e "\e[1;31m""Invalid environment specified!""\e[0m"
exit 1
fi
