on what distribution and version of bash does this break?

$cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid \n \l

$ $uname -a Linux debian 5.0.0-rc1+ #3 SMP Fri Jan 25 21:27:20 IST 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux $echo $BASH_VERSION 5.0.0(1)-release $

The commit log should refer to this and it would help me confirm the issue.

i like to send another version of patch which has things in the commit log

...

because an array is passed

Which is the array?

${TEST_DATA#*:*:} the above stuff sometimes contains array but not initially

get_test_enabled() is supposed to do what you do open-handed here. So the better question is why are you getting an array returned for your version of bash.

iam not returning an array but ${TEST_DATA#*:*:} sometimes holds array
