I must be misinterpreting this part of `t/test-lib.sh`, then:
-- snipsnap --
if test -n "$trace" && test -n "$test_untraceable"
then
# '-x' tracing requested, but this test script can't be reliably
# traced, unless it is run with a Bash version supporting
# BASH_XTRACEFD (introduced in Bash v4.1).
#
# Perform this version check _after_ the test script was
# potentially re-executed with $TEST_SHELL_PATH for '--tee' or
# '--verbose-log', so the right shell is checked and the
# warning is issued only once.
if test -n "$BASH_VERSION" && eval '
test ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -gt 4 || {
test ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -eq 4 &&
test ${BASH_VERSINFO[1]} -ge 1
}
'
then
: Executed by a Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD. Good.
else
echo >&2 "warning: ignoring -x; '$0' is untraceable without BASH_XTRACEFD"
trace=
