I am confused; my shell script does *not* contain a function definition.
Am I missing something?
Nope, it was a combination of ERRNOCAFFINE and not seeing a second script.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04
I tried your way of not using a "main-script" and got the same result.
I can see the exported environment variable TEST_ENVVAR in the "env" output of the psql \! subshell. "declare -Fx" shows no results.
I replaced "/usr/bin/env bash" with "/bin/bash" to no effect.
