test-dependency-docs-scope, run-go-unit-tests, and build-all.sh use
declare -A/mapfile (bash 4+ only) and either silently misreport results
or crash on macOS stock bash 3.2. otelconfig-validate-config and
otelconfig-update-examples relied on GNU-only timeout and sed -i.
Added version guards, a timeout/gtimeout fallback, and a portable sed
replacement.

Issues

Closes #1125

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved script compatibility across macOS and GNU/Linux with platform-specific timeout support and portable text substitution.
    • Added fallback handling when standard timeout utilities are unavailable.
    • Added clear setup guidance when required command-line tools are missing.
  • Validation

    • Added Bash version checks to build, testing, and configuration-validation scripts.
    • Scripts now stop early with actionable instructions when Bash 4 or newer is not installed.

test-dependency-docs-scope and build/test scripts use declare -A and
mapfile, which require bash 4+ and silently misbehave or fail outright
on macOS stock bash 3.2. otelconfig-validate-config also relies on the
GNU coreutils timeout command and GNU-style sed -i, neither of which
work on stock macOS. Add version guards, a timeout/gtimeout fallback,
and a portable sed replacement.

Closes NVIDIA#1125

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scripts now support macOS command variants, provide a timeout fallback, and reject Bash versions older than 4 before using Bash 4 features.

Changes

Platform compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Portable otelconfig tooling
tools/byoo/otelconfig-validate-config, tools/byoo/otelconfig-update-examples
Validation uses timeout, gtimeout, or a TERM/KILL fallback. Both scripts replace platform-specific sed -i usage with temporary-file output followed by mv.
Bash version prerequisites
tools/ci/run-go-unit-tests, tools/ci/test-dependency-docs-scope, tools/scripts/build-all.sh
The scripts require Bash 4 or newer and provide macOS installation guidance when an older Bash version is detected.

In `@tools/byoo/otelconfig-validate-config`:
- Around line 5-15: Update the command-selection logic in the validation script
to reuse the manual timeout fallback from validate-otelconfig.sh when neither
timeout nor gtimeout is available, instead of exiting immediately. Preserve the
existing GNU and macOS Homebrew command paths and ensure the fallback still runs
validation with a timeout.
- Around line 5-15: Add focused portability tests for the command-selection
logic in otelconfig-validate-config, covering timeout, gtimeout, and
missing-command behavior under Bash 3.2 and Bash 5. Also test both successful
and failed temporary-file replacement in otelconfig-update-examples.

Apply the same fix in `@tools/ci/run-go-unit-tests` around lines 19 - 25: Covers
the Bash prerequisite guard regression tests.

Comment thread tools/byoo/otelconfig-validate-config Outdated
Stock macOS ships neither GNU timeout nor gtimeout, so the earlier
guard just errored out before running validation. Reuse the manual
background-process fallback already used in
byoo-otel-collector/scripts/validate-otelconfig.sh: try timeout, then
gtimeout, then run the command in the background and kill it after
the deadline.
