Shell variable evaluating inside while loop

Question

I am trying to run .sh file to put certificate via keytool command in every jre/lib/security/cacert file described in ~/.java/deployment/deployment.properties file.

But getting error "Keystore parameter must not be empty" in

sudo bash -c keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias test-cert -file ./test.cer -keystore ${resultPath};

I already tried use eval and "$()" notation - but this failed too. How can I fix that?

#!/bin/bash

PATTERN=deployment\.javaws\.jre\.[0-9]*\.path
FILE=~/.java/deployment/deployment.properties
sep='='
trail=lib/security/cacerts

#Traverse file line by line
while read line ; do

  #If line matches pattern
  if printf %s\\n "${line}" | grep -q "${PATTERN}"; then
    case $line in 
      (*"$sep"*)

        #Process line to get path for ../jre/lib/security/cacert file
        after=${line#*"$sep"};
        resultPath=${after%????????}${trail};

        #This fails : ${resultPath} somehow is empty
        sudo bash -c keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias test-cert -file ./test.cer -keystore ${resultPath};

      ;;
      (*)
      ;;
    esac
  fi
done < "$FILE"

UPDATE: Running script through bash -vx ./script.sh show this output:

#!/bin/bash
PATTERN=deployment\.javaws\.jre\.[0-9]*\.path
+ PATTERN='deployment.javaws.jre.[0-9]*.path'
FILE=~/.java/deployment/deployment.properties

        #Process line to get path for ../jre/lib/security/cacert file
        after=${line#*"$sep"};

An error line

Enter keystore password:  keytool error: java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect

showing because user should enter password for keystore file, but when this script runs, no prompt about entering password is given. How can I fix that?

run the script with bash -vx script and examine the output — glenn jackman

unfortunatelly, I could only use sh ./script.sh to run script. — Peter Pan

but your "sh-bang" line is !#/bin/bash. Did you try sh -x ./script.sh or can't you use that either? Can you edit your script or run a edited copy of it from the /tmp dir? Then add set -x above your sudo line and set -x after that line. Good luck. — shellter

@shelter Updated the question with use of bash -vx script. Another issue: user should be asked for password, but instead of that, an error appears. — Peter Pan

You should use double quotes to ensure that the variable expansion ${resultPath} produces a word for the shell.

Thus your critical line should be

sudo keytool -importcert -v -trustcacerts -alias test -file ./test.cer -keystore "${resultPath}";

You could also be interested in :? or :- variable expansion modifiers.

Note It seems to me that the keytool program complains that your file is not valid, maybe your issue has nothing with shell programming.
