Bug #12336: executing system commands may fail if user's PATH contains a tilde
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12336

Status: Accepted

Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


As a result of the changes from #5224, we are now unsetting the HOME 
environment variable when we execute system commands from within puppet.  (This 
applies mostly to the Exec provider, but may also affect other providers that 
issue system commands.)

An exception will be thrown if the following conditions are met:

* User's PATH contains a literal '~' character
* The command to be executed is not specified via an absolute path

Should be reproducible by adding, e.g., "~/bin" to PATH and then running the 
spec/unit/util_spec.rb tests.
