How to find all interactive commands in a shell script using java?












0















I want to write a java function, that will scan a bash file and find if there are any commands that require user input. I know that there is a command read, designed to capture user input and I think that it is the only one.



I wrote a Validator class that takes a script (simple class that just loads a content of a script to a String variable using Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path))).



Here is my Validator class:



import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class Validator {

Script script;

String interactiveCommands = {"read"};

public Validator(Script script) {
this.script = script;
}

public void validateInteractiveCommands() {
for (String string : interactiveCommands) {
streamService(string);
}
}

private void streamService(String string) {
try (Stream<String> stream = Files.lines(Paths.get(script.getPath()))) {
stream.filter(lines -> lines.startsWith(string))
.forEach(this::printFound);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

private void printFound(String string) {
System.out.println("Found an interactive command: " + string);
}

}


But in this case I only capture read when it is at the beggining of a line.
And in this case:



if true ; then
read a
fi


it fails to capture read because of 4 spaces.
Is there any simple way that I can handle it using stream or lambdas? Or should I switch to regexp?

          • Indeed You are right. I did not think about it earlier. So it seems that the only way to assume that the script will run in a non-interactive mode is closing the stdin right?

            Even that is not sufficient. A program can (attempt to) open "/dev/tty" and read from there.
