5 months ago I think I may have figured this out.
I updated my path setting towards the top of my config.fish file to the following:
set -gx PATH "$HOME/.local/bin" "$PYENV_ROOT/bin" "$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/fnm" /opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin /opt/homebrew/sbin /opt/homebrew/bin $PATHIn the above path command, I removed the path of "$FNM_MULTISHELL_PATH/bin" that I was setting previously
I then deleted my $HOME/.config/fish/conf.d/fnm.fish file.
The fnm automatic install script creates the above file, but if I do that, it puts the path to fnm after my homebrew paths. So to get around that, I deleted the above file, and I put the source call for fnm towards the bottom of my config.fish file:
# fnm
/opt/homebrew/bin/fnm env --use-on-cd | source
# Pyenv
pyenv init - | source
# Starship prompt
starship init fish | sourceWith the above setup, I now have the path for fnm set to be before the path for Homebrew, and it's only showing up once in my echo $PATH:
/Users/kris/.pyenv/shims /Users/kris/Library/Caches/fnm_multishells/23714_1707382543780/bin /Users/kris/.local/bin /Users/kris/.pyenv/bin /Users/kris/Library/Application\ Support/fnm /opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin /opt/homebrew/sbin /opt/homebrew/bin /usr/local/bin /System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/local/bin /var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/bin /var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/appleinternal/bin /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Public /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/MacOSI'm open to feedback on if there's a better way to do this. But if not, we can close this issue and hopefully the above is helpful for anyone else with both fnm and homebrew installing node, and using fish as their shell.
I'm using fish shell, and I like to have all my configuration in code, that gets kept in sync with my various macs through my dotfiles. This means I use
set -gx PATH /some/path $PATHinstead ofset -g fish_user_paths /some/path $fish_user_paths.Since I also have node installed via some dependencies I have with homebrew, I run into a situation where the homebrew path to node comes before the fnm path to node. This means that even when I
fnm use 18, I still end up using the latest node binary installed at/opt/homebrew/bin/node.In my
config.fishfile, I have the following:This allows me to put the fnm path before the homebrew paths.
I then have this in my
$HOME/.config/fish/conf.d/fnm.fishfile:The problem with this, is that when I
echo $SHELL, I end up with/Users/kris/Library/Caches/fnm_multishells/2300_1707350728310/binlisted twice:The first path is coming from the
set -gx PATHcommand in myconfig.fishfile, but the second path is loading dynamically when/opt/homebrew/bin/fnm env --use-on-cd | sourceis called in myfnm.fishfile. If I remove the/opt/homebrew/bin/fnm env --use-on-cd | sourceline fromfnm.fish, then both/opt/homebrew/bin /Users/kris/Library/Caches/fnm_multishells/2300_1707350728310/binpaths get removed from my PATH.Hopefully this is making sense? What do I need to do in order to ensure
/Users/kris/Library/Caches/fnm_multishells/2300_1707350728310/binis always in the path before/opt/homebrew/bin, but at the same time/Users/kris/Library/Caches/fnm_multishells/2300_1707350728310/binonly shows up once in my PATH?
