commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/a260b87d9da17f605666630f18c1ed909c2b8bae Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Fri Jan 15 20:48:22 2016 +0100 patch 7.4.1096 Problem: Need several lines to verify a command produces an error. Solution: Add assert_fails(). (suggested by Nikolay Pavlov) Make the quickfix alloc test actually work.

Test for ":options".

STARTTEST
:so small.vim
:let caught = 'ok'
:try
  :options
:catch 
  :let caught = v:throwpoint . "\n" . v:exception
:endtry
:buf 1
:$put =caught
:"
:" Test that changing 'path' keeps two commas.
:set path=foo,,bar
:set path-=bar
:set path+=bar
:$put =&path
:/^result/,$w! test.out
:qa!
ENDTEST
