Using Associative Arrays declared in functions

[michael-franzese]

 Am trying to ran some tests on some bash code.

 Here is how I run my test

 cd fractr-test
 ./colr-test.sh

 and this is what I get

 termi-colr-wheel: * 79
 colr-test: ***
 Here is colr-fractr.sh
 colr-test: ***
 scout-terminfo-colours: **

 For some reason I do still do not understand, I do not get the number 79
 next to the double and triple stars.

 Here is the code

 ./colr-tools.sh
 termi-colr-wheel ()
   { declare -rA tis=([cols]="$(tput cols)")
     echo "* ${tis[cols]} }

 ./fractr-test/colr-fractr.sh
 scout-terminfo-colours {echo "** ${tis[cols]}"}

 ./fractr-test/colr-test.sh
 tools_path=$(readlink -f "$0")
 tools_path="${tools_path%/*}"
 tools_path="${tools_path%/*}"

 source ${tools_path}/colr-tools.sh

 termi-colr-wheel
 echo "colr-test: *** ${tis[cols]}"

 source ./colr-fractr.sh
 echo "colr-test: *** ${tis[cols]}"
 scout-terminfo-colours
