" Settings for test script execution
" Always use "sh", don't use the value of "$SHELL".
set shell=sh

" While some tests overwrite $HOME to prevent them from polluting user files,
" we need to remember the original value so that we can tell external systems
" where to ask about their own user settings.
let g:tester_HOME = $HOME
