Nvm: 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]

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

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

[JonahMoses]

prompt.zsh

setopt prompt_subst

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.
