Cannot disable ignored for multiple statements on one line < can't ignore SC2024 with inline directive `# shellcheck disable=SC2024`

For bugs with existing features

• Rule Id SC2024
• "online"
• The rule's wiki page does not already cover this (e.g. https://shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2086)
• I tried on https://www.shellcheck.net/ and verified that this is still a problem on the latest commit

Here's a snippet or screenshot that shows the problem:

#!/bin/bash
errorlog=/tmp/error.log
# shellcheck disable=SC2024
sudo apt update; sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable >> "$errorlog"
echo "$errorlog"
exit

Here's what shellcheck currently says:

$ shellcheck myscript
 
[Line 4:](javascript:setPosition(4, 59))
sudo apt update; sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable >> "$errorlog"
                                                          ^-- [SC2024](https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2024) (warning): sudo doesn't affect redirects. Use .. | sudo tee -a file

$

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

$ shellcheck myscript
No issues detected!
 
$

Additional:

• Tried removing the indentation, still shows the warning.
• Tried stripping the code down to bare minimum (functional line between shbang and shellcheck directive: i.e., declare var, echo var after, exit.)
• Tried adding it to the script-wide directive (i.e., under the shbang) and it removed the warning.
• The wiki page specifically says this can be ignored:

  Exceptions
  If you want to run a command as root but redirect as the normal user, you can ignore this message.

It works if you break the line or you disable the error globally:

#!/bin/bash

errorlog=/tmp/error.log

sudo apt update
# shellcheck disable=SC2024
sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable >> "$errorlog"
echo "$errorlog"
exit

This bug actually affects all the rules:

#!/bin/bash
:

# warning
#shellcheck disable=SC2086
:; : $_

# no warning
#shellcheck disable=SC2086
: $_

Shucks, that's one thing I didn't think to try.

I made a note on the directives documentation in the wiki, though I don't have a whole lot of confidence that it won't be removed.

Workaround and wiki note is all good - I'll add a link here though.
thnx.

The bug report is still valid and I think it is worth addressing if feasible.

Maybe change the name to something like Disable ignored for multiple statements on one line
