How does Vim sets 'shell'?

Question

I have an issue with Vim in NixOS.

The problem is that Vim sets to shell the path to not desired bash (non-interactive bash).

So I want to know how Vim finds a shell and sets its path to shell to fix the issue.

"non-interactive" bash? Do you want to add the -i option to bash? If so, I'd suggest vi.stackexchange.com/a/11173/205 instead. See :h 'shell' and :h 'shellcmdflag' — muru, Apr 3, 2018 at 8:22

Looks like it is set from environment variable $SHELL. . For example try run vim like this:

% env SHELL=/bin/csh vim
