rvm/zsh trouble about pow

[josh]

Are you using rvm gemsets? Sounds like the one pow is loaded with doesn't have those gems.

[jalada]

No but I'm using RVM to replace my system Ruby:

jalada@mc15812 ~ » which ruby
/Users/jalada/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p334/bin/ruby

jalada@mc15812 ~ » rvm gemdir
/Users/jalada/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p334

Does that help?

Looking at the source very briefly, it feels like it should source rvm whether or not there is an .rvmrc file present in the project.

[josh]

What shell are you using? (assuming bash)

Is rvm setup in .bash_profile or .bashrc or something else?

[jalada]

zsh, it's at the bottom of .profile

[josh]

I think zsh uses .zshenv and .zshrc instead of .profile. Not an zsh expert. Sam uses zsh, he might know better.

[jalada]

I am sourcing .profile at the end of .zshrc; would that be a problem?

[josh]

Debug idea: add a echo "Loading RVM" right before you source rvm.

Open Console.app, restart pow and hit an app. You should see that log line happen in Console.app if its being sourced by pow.

[jalada]

With or without a .rvmrc file in my app's directory, I never see Loading RVM after adding it to my .profile before sourcing RVM.

[josh]

Kind of what I expected.

With that debug still in place: zsh --login -c "echo test"

Does that product any output? Thinking zsh's --login environment just isn't evaling rvm.

[jalada]

You're right, no 'Loading RVM'

[josh]

Try moving rvm directly into .zshenv

[jalada]

Bingo. Now it's working fine and I'm getting Loading RVM in my console.

I'm a bit of a ZSH noob; I'll have to look up .zshenv etc.

Weirdly I'm getting 'Loading RVM' twice in a new shell even though it's just in .zshenv, but never mind about that! Think it's just the way it's rendering it in iTerm or something.

Thanks for the help! Sorry it wasn't a real bug :P love pow!

I'm having problems with this. Seems like the .zshenv isn't loading RVM properly, and it doesn't include the RVM gemdir into the PATH env variable. So commands like bundle doesn't work anymore.

If I have the Load RVM scripts in .zshrc, I get the following for the PATH variable:

/Users/andrew/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/Users/andrew/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@global/bin:/Users/andrew/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/Users/andrew/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

But when I load it in .zshenv, it doesn't load RVM until i run an RVM command, and it doesn't even load properly:

➜  ~  echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
➜  ~  ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]
➜  ~  rvm list

rvm rubies

=> ruby-1.9.2-p290 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.3-p0 [ x86_64 ]

➜  ~  echo $PATH
/Users/andrew/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
➜  ~  

Help would be appreciated.
