Description:
        Script has set errexit flag. It runs function. Function declares local 
variable and set it to output of run subcommand. Subcommand fails. Script does 
not care and continue execution.

        When same function sets global variable instead of local one, the 
script is stopped by errexit flag as expected.

Script should stop and this message should not be printed
