New issue 385 by [email protected]: expansion of environment variables
fails in Vim backtick expression
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=385
What steps will reproduce the problem?
vim -u NONE -i NONE -N
:e `=$HOME . '/.vimrc'`
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Vim should open the .vimrc file in my HOME directory. Instead I see the
following error:
E15: Invalid expression: /Users/pjuhas . '/.vimrc'
It seems that $HOME gets expanded _before_ parsing the VimL expression in
backticks. This would be OK for shell-expanded backtick expressions, but
not for Vim expressions of the `=<expr>` kind.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vim 7.4.712 on OS X Yosemite 10.10.4. This is likely independent of the OS.
