SOLVED Strange issue with case statement

I recently created an installation program for my own use at home. It works but I ran into an issue with a case statement. I found a solution but I am not sure why it works. Originally I tried to call the partitioning function and then set the four variables ($boot, $spare, $root1, $root2) before calling the next function. If I do that the script will fail because only three of the four variables will get set. The fourth variable ($root2) will be unset. Once I found that out I moved the function call to create the boot partition up and now all four variables are getting set. I am not a programmer and I cannot see why this is an issue.

What did I miss?  

case "$mode:$disk1:$disk2" in
	bios:/dev/sd?:/dev/sd?)
		bios_partitions
      	        boot=${disk1}2	
  		spare=${disk2}2
  		create_bios_boot
  		root1=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk1}3)
  		root2=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk2}3)
  		;;
  	bios:/dev/nvme?n?:/dev/nvme?n?)
		bios_partitions
      	        boot=${disk1}p2	
  		spare=${disk2}p2
  		create_bios_boot
  		root1=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk1}p3)
  		root2=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk2}p3)
  		;;
	uefi:/dev/sd?:/dev/sd?)
		uefi_partitions
		boot=${disk1}1	
		spare=${disk2}1
		create_uefi_boot
		root1=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk1}2)
		root2=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk2}2)
		;;
	uefi:/dev/nvme?n?:/dev/nvme?n?)
		uefi_partitions
		boot=${disk1}p1	
		spare=${disk2}p1
		create_uefi_boot
		root1=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk1}p2)
		root2=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk2}p2)
		;;
	*)
		print "usage: archzfs disk1 disk2 mode"
		print "disks = '/dev/sd?' | '/dev/nvme?n?'"
		print "mode = 'uefi' | 'bios'"
		exit
esac

UPDATE:

The issue was with my partition tables not being updated.
Following partitioning the kernel was not being updated.
When setting variables the needed information was not available. 

I did two things:

1) added 'parted $disk1 mklabel gpt' to the end of my disk wiping function
2) added 'partprobe -s $disk1' to the end of my disk partitioning function

Re: SOLVED Strange issue with case statement

Is this the working example? It would help to know what the non-working example looked like, and also what exactly bios_partitions/create_bios_boot (and their EFI equivalents) do.

But my guess from this code is that $root2 wasn't actually unset, but rather simply set to an empty value, because lsblk didn't produce any output, because the partition didn't exist, because it was only created by whatever those two function do.

I would generally recommend handling errors correctly instead of just ignoring them, otherwise your program will show undefined behaviour (as it continues as if everything is alright).
For example

	if ! root2=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk2}3); then
		# handle error here
	fi

or

	root2=$(lsblk -dno PARTUUID ${disk2}3) || {
		# handle error here, with $? containing the return code of the command
	}

Error handling is sound advice. This one has me stumped. The case statement in question is the first thing under MAIN near the bottom of my script.

Here is what I have at the moment:

Re: SOLVED Strange issue with case statement

This has nothing to do with with the case statement.  I suspect it's due to the new partition table not yet being loaded - you can remedy this by running `partprobe` or a similar tool before the lsblk commands.  But this is all just speculation as all you know is that *something* failed, but you have so many steps bundled together without any error checking that there's no way to no.

We shouldn't just guess.  CHECK the actual output from commands.  What is the full lsblk output at the time of failure?

I created this script during an emergency so it was thrown together very quickly. I found out that $root2 was not working correctly when the zpool creation failed. By echoing its value at the time of failure I found out that its was either unset or empty set. It was purely by chance that I added the function to create the boot partition before returning and setting $root1 and $root2 in order to create the zpool. I ran into trouble when I went back and tried to clean up this script and add some basic error handling. As you can surely see I am an amateur when it comes to bash programming. 

I think that you are right about the partition table. Maybe I should create a new table on the disks before partitioning them?

Creating a partition table is part of the partitioning process.  While this is should be done, that's not specifically what I was referring to.  Rather, even with a new partition table, after you create new partitions, the running kernel can still have 'stale' information about the device partitioning.  If it does, when you run any `lsblk` commands you'll get the old information rather than the new/current information.

Some partitioning tools will run the equivalent of `partprobe` when they exit or write the new partitions to disk.  I'm not that familiar with sgdisk, though.  And as it is being used for indiivdual command sequentially, it may or may not trigger the kernel to update the kernel's information about the partitions.

Some partitioning tools will run the equivalent of `partprobe` when they exit or write the new partitions to disk.  I'm not that familiar with sgdisk, though.  And as it is being used for individual command sequentially, it may or may not trigger the kernel to update the kernel's information about the partitions.

What I can tell you about sgdisk is that when it ran there were messages about building a new partition table in memory. Now that I am writing a blank partition table to disk immediately after wiping I no longer see those messages. And by running partprobe per your suggestion the kernel is getting updated immediately after partitioning. Someday when I am not crazy busy with grad school I may try parted to see if it works any better. For now what I have is working and I can rebuild my system in about 20 minutes if I break it. With this script I was able to get my old system with broken efi firmware to boot with grub. Now I have a system I can experiment with and make my script into a proper tool.

Thank you kindly
