Depends on #4913 and #4935
General fix to all shell scripts to correctly exit script when calling a sub script fails.
TLDR:
we have
set -ein scripts that needs to exit when a subscript fails.Using this:
output=$( expression )captures output but doesn't cause calling script to exit with error. (You have to manually check exit code with
$?)output=`expression`Works better because it captures output and a non zero exit code from the expression/script with make the calling script exit correctly with an error code.
