type command is missing from the test environment - is this intentional or just missing?

When I run locally I get the correct path:  
$ type cat  
cat is /bin/cat

But in the tester:

[tester::#MG5] Running ./your\_program.sh  
[your-program] $ type cat  
[your-program] type: command not found  
[tester::#MG5] ^ Line does not match expected value.  
[tester::#MG5] Expected: “cat is /usr/bin/cat”  
[tester::#MG5] Received: “type: command not found”  
[your-program] $  
[tester::#MG5] Assertion failed.  
[tester::#MG5] Test failed

Hey @lFahadl, looks like you’ve got past this stage. Do you happen to remember what was wrong? Would love to see if we can improve the tester / instructions.
