sys.argv index out of range error

[Brian McCann]

Hi, 
 
I trying to create a bootstrap.sh shell script that takes two command line args that passes them
to two scripts. one script is init.sh  that sets up some environment varilables
the other will be a Python script used as the main build script. the contents of the bootstrap file and init.sh are
I've simplified the scripts as much as I could and still retain the errors
 
bootstrap.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/workspaces
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

source init $1
test.py $2
#################################
 
init.sh

#!/bin/sh
WORKSPACE_ROOT="$1";

export JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.library.path=$WORKSPACE_ROOT/:$WORKSPACE_ROOT/:$WORKSPACE_ROOT/"
echo "JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS;
 
set PATH="$WORKSPACE_ROOT/vendor/basistech/rlp5.4/rlp/bin/ia32-glibc23-gcc32:$WORKSPACE_ROOT/vendor/basistech/rlp5.4/rlp/bin/ia32-w32-msvc71:$WORKSPACE_ROOT/lib/core:$PATH"


##############################################################################
when I run the bootstrap.sh with two args

$ ./bootstrap.sh  spam   ham

init takes the spam with no problem 

this is the output on the command line

$ ./bootstrap.sh spam ham
JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.library.path=spam/:spam/:spam/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test.py", line 12, in ?
    aaa = sys.argv[1]
IndexError: list index out of range
 
 
This is the test.py script that gets the second arg
######################################
!/usr/bin/python
import string
import os
import sys

filename  = sys.argv[0]
aaa = sys.argv[1]


print aaa
#################################
 
 
If I remove "source init $1" from init.sh and replace it with "init 1$" I get this output which works
$ bootstrap.sh spam ham
JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.library.path=spam/:spam/:spam/
ham

what's wrong with  the line "source init $1  ?
 
 
Thanks,
Brian
