| Jun 7, 2019 at 20:21 | comment | added | user313992 | Is it? What if the error happens inside a func? Would your trap be called or not? Also, think through whether/why do you need set -e at all. | |

@UncleBilly: I don't know what you're talking about but this Q/A has nothing to do with the reliability of set -e. That is working exactly how it should.
