Nvm: $(nvm_sanitize_path "${NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX}");: command not found

[ORESoftware]

Getting this in my shell when I open a new bash tab:

$(nvm_sanitize_path "${NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX}");: command not found

in my ~/.bashrc I have:

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

i remember seeing the NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX stuff somewhere but don't see it now - I am on ubuntu 18.04

How did you install nvm?

The curl script

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

Yes definitely

[ljharb]

Please fill out the entire issue template, no exceptions - it's there for a reason.

[ORESoftware]

I guess I have to open a new issues to see the original template

[ljharb]

You'd open the page to create a new issue, copy the contents, close the tab without creating one, and then paste them into the OP of this one.

[ORESoftware]

yep updated the OP

[ljharb]

Are you sourcing .bashrc in .bash_profile?

[ljharb]

Also, note that that particular command (from the OP) only happens when you run nvm debug. Do you perhaps have nvm debug somewhere in your profile files?

[ORESoftware]

.bashrc and .bash_profile both source a 3rd shared file called ~/.alex.rc.sh and that file is only sourced once by the shell since I flip a boolean

[ORESoftware]

I think what's confusing is this:

so does this belong in ~/.bashrc?

# 1
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

or does _this_ belong in ~/.bashrc?

# 2
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

I think at some point I threw the first one into the env and that's what is causing the issue idk

[ljharb]

Either should work the same unless you have XDG vars set.

[kaiwk]

i have the same problem, when i put "set -a"(or "export -f nvm") in .bash_profile.

set -a
[ -f "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" 2> /dev/null  # This loads nvm
set +a

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/428175/how-to-export-all-bash-functions-in-a-file-in-one-line

i want to export nvm globally, so that i don't need to source it .bashrc.

[ljharb]

@kaiwk nvm brings 113 functions into your shell and 5 or more env vars, it's just not practical to export them all globally.

[ORESoftware]

@ljharb you misunderstood, I am probably doing the same thing - its because we are both using set -a as a wrapper around a bunch of code which includes the NVM calle.

[ljharb]

I haven't tested or documented any support for using set -a in this way with nvm; while it might work, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. That you were using any bash options wasn't communicated in the OP; any bash option being set might cause issues and needs to be looked into.

[ORESoftware]

When I posted the OP I hadn't yet realized the set -a was causing it, but I use that liberally, so probably it, if @kaiwk is experience the same problem as me
