// This a test for a regression involving a subtle bug regarding
// setting the output directory and then referencing it directly
// immediately afterwards, in a situation when no output is 
// actually resolved anywhere by any command.
// The problem arises because the $output.dir actually resolves 
// the directory by looking at the output files. No output files
// means no way to resolve the directory.
