sourcing .zshrc is changing nvm node version to system node ignoring set defaults

[JonahMoses]

I do not have a .npmrc and the following lines are in my .zshrc file:
export PATH="~/.yarn/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH"
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

Can you share the rest of your .zshrc?

[JonahMoses]

```sh export PATH="~/.yarn/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH"

Would you like to use another custom folder than $ZSH/custom?

ZSH_CUSTOM=~/.dotfiles/custom

See https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes

ZSH_THEME="TheOne"

plugins=()

export ZSH=/Users/jonahmoses/.oh-my-zsh
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

show contents of directory after cd-ing into it

chpwd() { l }

Colors

autoload -U colors
export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExFxBxDxCxegedabagacad
colors

Use vim as the visual editor

export VISUAL=vim
export EDITOR=vim

Save a ton of history

setopt hist_ignore_all_dups inc_append_history

SAVEHIST=5000

FZF & RipGrep

[ -f ~/.fzf.zsh ] && source ~/.fzf.zsh
export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='rg --files --glob "!{.git,node_modules}/*" 2> /dev/null'

fpath=(/usr/local/share/zsh-completions $fpath)

source ~/.dotfiles/aliases.zsh
source ~/.dotfiles/prompt.zsh

source nvm

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

Thanks - what about aliases.zsh and prompt.zsh?

[JonahMoses]

prompt.zsh

```sh setopt prompt_subst

autoload -Uz vcs_info

zstyle ':vcs_info:' unstagedstr 'M'

hmm, nothing strange there :-/

If from bash, you do nvm deactivate before sourcing .zshrc, what happens?

[JonahMoses]

My default shell is zsh so I'm never in bash land. However if I switch to bash with exec bash then nvm deactivate I get a nvm command not found

[ljharb]

ok, so then in zsh prior to sourcing zshrc, if you do nvm deactivate, and then source zshrc :-)

[JonahMoses]

Either that or adding PATH="/usr/local/bin:$(getconf PATH)" to the top of my .zshrc file seemed to fix it

[tflx]

Thank you!...The PATH thing fixed it for me. Been struggling with this.
