Alter $PATH in vim/macvim so as to find the right ruby binary

Question

In trying to harmonize environments between a ZSH session and the vim/macvim access of the shell, a which ruby from the shell shows $HOME/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1

Answer 1

I don't know if it applies to zsh but depending on how it's started, bash reads some files and not others. Having this line in my ~/.vimrc ensures that $PATH is the same in Vim and in my shell.

set shell=bash\ -i

But it depends on how you start/customize your shell.

See :help 'shell' and zsh's manual.
