Variables not set during tangle of sh code (org 9.5)

Variables not set during tangle of sh code (org 9.5)

[Robby Kiggen | Essential IT]

Hi,

in  OrgMode  9.5 it seems that the variables during the tangling of sh
aren't set/initialized.

For example the block below:
#+begin_src sh :var str="Hello World" :tangle helloworld.sh
echo $str
#+end_src

Gets tangled into:
echo $str

Which means the str="Hello World" line is missing.

I tried this with an emacs block and that seemed to be working.

The following block:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data1=8 data2=16 :tangle test.lsp
(message "data1:%S, data2:%S" data1 data2)
#+end_src

Was tangled to:
(let ((data1 '8)
      (data2 '16))
(message "data1:%S, data2:%S" data1 data2)
)

This leads me to believe that there is a bug in ob-shell.el.

My guess is that you haven't loaded ob-shell, as that's how I can
reproduce what you report.  After (require 'ob-shell), I see

  str='Hello World'
  echo $str
