Asdf: /usr/local/libexec/private/asdf-exec: No such file or directory

[philippneugebauer]

I was following this tutorial: https://www.mitchellhanberg.com/post/2017/10/05/installing-erlang-and-elixir-using-asdf/

$ asdf plugin-list
elixir
erlang
ruby
$ asdf current
elixir         1.7.4    (set by /Users/me/.tool-versions)
erlang         21.2     (set by /Users/me/.tool-versions)
ruby           No version set for ruby; please run `asdf <global | local> ruby <version>`
$ elixir -v
/Users/me/.asdf/shims/elixir: line 4: /usr/local/libexec/private/asdf-exec: No such file or directory
/Users/me/.asdf/shims/elixir: line 4: exec: /usr/local/libexec/private/asdf-exec: cannot execute: No such file or directory

I could not find anything regarding my issue but I also did not find anything I might have missed in my installation

OS: macOs Sierra

asdf version: 0.6.2

I had the same problem.
To fix simply edit /Users/me/.asdf/shims/elixir and change the /usr/local/libexec/private/asdf-exec to /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.6.2/libexec/private/asdf-exec.
I think it is caused because I had an old asdf 0.6.0 which was missing the .zshrc activation (source /usr/local/opt/asdf/asdf.sh).

Thank you very much @look4regev it worked for me.

I just installed asdf v0.6.2 from homebrew so it is not due to an old version for me

[abumalick]

I had the problem for nodejs and python

running this, avoids the edition of all shims:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.6.2/libexec/ /usr/local/libexec

[tcoenraad]

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/asdf

By turning the command into

sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/asdf/libexec/ /usr/local/libexec

you make it version unaware :wink:

[abumalick]

thank you very much @tcoenraad

[OldhamMade]

Happening for me also. Is there a fix planned so users don't have to hack around creating symlinks?

[JackHowa]

I ran into a similar error, using: . $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh . $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash

It seems to be working with homebrew using: . $(brew --prefix asdf)/asdf.sh

[philippneugebauer]

I cannot reproduce this error anymore with 0.7.4

[SidOfc]

I had this issue just now on Ubuntu 19.04 using asdf 0.7.4.

I was trying to run rustc version 1.35.0 which was installed properly but asdf could not find it:

/home/me/.asdf/shims/rustc: line 3: /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf: No such file or directory

asdf is installed in $HOME/.asdf, on my machine and the /usr/local/opt folder did not exist.
What I did to fix it was first create the directory /usr/local/opt, then symlink $HOME/.asdf to /usr/local/opt/asdf:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/opt
sudo ln -s "$HOME/.asdf" /usr/local/opt/asdf

After this the rustc command started working properly again.`

Unfortunately I am unsure from which version I actually upgraded but I believe it was 7.1.0, in this version I did not have this issue without the /usr/local/opt directory.

Hope this helps anyone, good luck!

Closing this ticket because I don't believe this is an issue with the latest versions of asdf (0.8.0-rc1 and 0.7.8). Please upgrade if you encounter this issue.

[SidOfc]

Actually @Stratus3D I still do have this issue with 0.7.8 as well as 0.8.0-rc1, this is what I did:

• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ asdf --version
v0.7.8-40c492b
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ ls /usr/local/opt
asdf@
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ rustc --version
rustc 1.41.0 (5e1a79984 2020-01-27)
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/opt
[sudo] password:
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ asdf reshim
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ rustc --version
/home/sidofc/.asdf/shims/rustc: line 6: /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf: No such file or directory
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ asdf reshim
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ rustc --version
/home/sidofc/.asdf/shims/rustc: line 6: /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf: No such file or directory
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ asdf --version
v0.7.8-4a3e3d6
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ asdf reshim
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ rustc --version
/home/sidofc/.asdf/shims/rustc: line 6: /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf: No such file or directory
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯ asdf --version
v0.8.0-rc1-e0142ee
• ~/D/rust/some-project ⚑ ❯

After re-symlinking to /usr/local/opt it started working again.
Should I completely reinstall an asdf plugin, or is it something else I missed perhaps?

Edit:

Is there anything I can do to help? I'd be happy to help debug this issue :)

[Stratus3D]

@SidOfc are you sure you installed asdf correctly? It seems like your ASDF_DATA_DIR or some other asdf path isn't corrrect on your system. Go to asdf-vm.com/ and select your OS and install type and verify you ran all the correct commands.

[SidOfc]

I noticed one instruction differs from what I've got, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
I use fish_user_paths to set up asdf like so:

set -U fish_user_paths $HOME/.asdf/bin $HOME/.asdf/shims

This works, and works for rust too as long as I have the symlink to /usr/local/opt in place.
According to the installation instructions I need to source $HOME/.asdf/asdf.fish, so I've changed my declaration to this:

set -U fish_user_paths $HOME/.asdf/asdf.fish

This still works, but when the symlink is removed I'm running into the same issue:

One interesting difference is that the ruby plugin does work correctly:

I checked the rust asdf plugin repo but it does not contain any references to /usr/local/opt so I don't think the issue lives in that repo, though I could have missed something.

I also tried asdf plugin-update --all which did update some plugins, including rust. After that I ran asdf reshim and checked if the shim for rustc changed but alas, it is still the same.

Would another idea be to reinstall asdf from scratch?
