As the question specifics ,i am getting this error while executing my bash script
In exact terms i get following error
bash: line 26: /dev/tty: No such device or address
bash: line 29: /dev/tty: No such device or address
Here are the concerned Line 26 and 29 in script respectively which causes the issue
read -e -p "Paste the links : " links </dev/tty
read -e -p "Enter your input : " sub </dev/tty
If someone wonders, i cannot simply remove writing to </dev/tty from line 26 and 29 , it causes different issues .. So basically i need fix or get alternative for writing to /dev/tty
I am executing my script by running -
curl raw_link | bash
Preferably i want a solution which only requires me to my edit my existing script .i don't want to run the script after saving it locally or execute it using any other way apart from curl raw_link | bash
ls -l /dev/tty returns the following
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 Aug 8 09:28 /dev/tty
ls -l </dev/tty returns the following
/bin/bash: /dev/tty: No such device or address
Also i would like to mention that this issue doesn't seem to be happening on every machine , i intend to use this script on Google Colab where i definitely do get this issue
To fix the bash error, you can try this workaround :
tty=$(readlink /proc/$$/fd/2)
read ... < $tty
$tty contains the actual tty device name.
