How did you install nvm?

install script in readme.

What steps did you perform?

I just installed as said in readme.

What happened?

Well, everything good. But everytime after opening terminal , I got these output:

grep: CloudMusic: Is a directory
grep: develop: Is a directory
grep: go: Is a directory
grep: matrix-blog: Is a directory
grep: ssqian: Is a directory

These directories are under my home directory.

What did you expect to happen?

It would not happen when I was working on manjaro-linux. If I commented these lines in .zshrc, above outputs disappeared.

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

So, how to hide these outputs?

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

export CLASSPATH=".:/usr/share/java/antlr-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH"
export PATH="$HOME/.yarn/bin:$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin:$HOME/apps/influxdb/usr/bin:$PATH"

I'm experiencing the same thing on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS after upgrading to NVM v0.37.1 - I had to manually roll back to v0.37.0

[ArmanMazdaee]

I have the same problem on archlinux with NVM v0.37.1 too

[ljharb]

I can’t figure out why either of the two changes in v0.37.1 would have caused this. Perhaps #2347, cc @mdwint?

[ljharb]

@qomosoloto this line in nvm debug is interesting: ls: 无法访问 'grep:': No such file or directory. What do those characters mean?

@ivancevich @ArmanMazdaee for both of you as well, is it listing every directory inside your home dir with that error message?

无法访问 means can't access

Now it is listing every directory inside any directory after excuting cd directory command...

[zhengdai]

I have the same problem on mac big sur 1.0.1 (20B29)

[zhengdai]

I found when I change
NVM_NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX_ENV="$(command env | nvm_grep -i ^NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX | command tail -1 | command awk -F '=' '{print $1}')"
to
NVM_NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX_ENV="$(command env | nvm_grep -i NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX | command tail -1 | command awk -F '=' '{print $1}')"

it's ok.

[mdwint]

@zhengdai What's the output of command env?

[mdwint]

@zhengdai Did you run command env inside of nvm.sh, right above the line you changed?

I don't understand how changing the ^ could have had an impact if command env doesn't even output any possible matches.

[ljharb]

Sounds like i need to revert #2347 ASAP; I’ll do that and cut a release today. @mdwint, we’ll need to reopen a PR to try to fix the original issue, but add a regression test to cover this case too.

[pmourer]

Also having this issue, manjaro linux

[ljharb]

Hmm, I'm unable to reproduce this in my local zsh on my (pre-big-sur) Mac in zsh.

[ljharb]

@qomosoloto regardless, export PATH="$HOME/.yarn/bin:$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin:$HOME/apps/influxdb/usr/bin:$PATH" will break things - do that before sourcing nvm, so that nvm's node/npm/global modules always take precedence (especially over yarn's global modules).

[ljharb]

I've gone ahead and reverted #2347, which will be released shortly as v0.7.2. Hopefully that solves the problem.

[ljharb]

v0.7.2 is released. Please file a new issue if there's still problems.
