Commands executed from vim are not recognizing bash command aliases

I’ve made an alias called “cache”: alias cache=”[shell command]”

Using vim, I’d like to call this alias through the ‘:!’ directive, but I just can call “standard” commands like ‘date’ and so on?

How is it possible to make vim use my shell aliases?

Actually the suggested answer in the possible duplicate question didn’t work for me. I currently use the following:

set shell=/bin/bash\ -i

It works fine.
