Re: Different path variables

I use zsh, vim's ':set shell' also returns '/bin/zsh'.

I do have some PATH stuff going on in my .zshrc, but I can't imagine
that being run twice would cause any issues. If anything that should
lead to the folders showing up twice, which while not ideal shouldn't
cause any (especially these) problems.

That being said, I suspected as much as far as the PATH being modified
by someone is concerned, so I'll look some more.

Assuming I can't find anything is there some hack-y way where I can
override the PATH used in the shell in a vim setting so that I can
actually get back to being able to run my tests from inside vim?

Thanks,
Srushti
