 refactor(tests): remove redir_exec #15718 2021-09-19T09:29:37+00:00 Justin M. Keyes justinkz@gmail.com 2021-09-19T09:29:37+00:00 2afbce7651f79b0626ebeae3688274ce18ac2920 Problem - `redir_exec` is obsolete, but it keeps getting used in new tests because people copy existing tests. - Disadvantages of `redir_exec`: - Captures extra junk before the actual error/message that we _want_ to test. - Does not fail on error, unlike e.g. `command()`. Solution - Use new functions like `nvim_exec` and `pcall_err`.
