nave use x.x.x fails about nave HOT 8 CLOSED

Got the problem. I use zsh and you are calling $SHELL in some places.
The quickiest workaround for me:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.local/bin
$ cat > $HOME/.local/bin/nave
#!/bin/sh
SHELL=bash $HOME/.nave/nave.sh $*
^D
$ chmod +x $HOME/.local/bin/nave
$ echo "PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" > $HOME/.zshenv

the only limittion - nave use ... in this case "drops" you into BASH

from nave.

With the linked commit, nave now only ever spawns bash, so you can probably just update and then remove that shim.

Not a deal-breaker, but I'm wondering if there's a way to use zsh with nave.

from nave.

You can use zsh for your shell, but nave is written in bash. It should play nice, but when you do nave use x.y.z some-command then the some-command is run by bash, not by zsh.

from nave.

I tried running zsh when in the shell (with nave use 0.6.19) and then when I node -v, I get the globally installed node (0.8).

Is there a way to have nave use zsh when using nave use x.y.z (without a command)?

from nave.

Set up your zshrc to not re-set the PATH environment variable. (Appending to it is fine, but the first entry in PATH should be the one that nave puts there, or else it won't work.)

from nave.

Here's my PATH in my .zshrc:

PATH=./node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:$PATH

I open up a new shell so it's in effect, the I fire nave use 0.6.19 and that opens a bash shell with the right node version. No if I run zsh, I lose the 0.6.19 node version and go back to 0.8.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to troubleshoot this with me.

from nave.

Change that to this:

PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

Nave prepends to the PATH. Then you are prepending node's main location on TOP of that, which overrides it. Don't do that.
