ARM64 (M1, M2, etc)

Herd Version

Bug description

Nvm was not installed on my machine prior to installing Herd. I installed it using the big red button in the "Node" tab inside Herd. I am now able to run nvm commands in my shell. However, Herd still wants me to install nvm using the big red button

Steps to reproduce

Install Herd on a machine without nvm. Install nvm using Herd, restart Herd and open the "Node" Tab

Relevant log output

No response

@SamuelNitsche This could happen if Herd is unable to detect NVM properly. Are you using a shell other than Bash/ZSH?

[SamuelNitsche]

Nope, I am using zsh with oh-my-zsh

[mpociot]

This is the exact command that we run in order to read the NVM_DIR environment variable:

/bin/zsh -l -c "[[ -f ~/.zshrc ]] && source ~/.zshrc; echo $NVM_DIR"

The result gets trimmed. Could this be empty for you because you have any additional shell output?

[SamuelNitsche]

That explains the issue. I had referenced an oh-my-zsh plugin which wasn't installed. This caused the following output:

[dinhquochan]

Same me, Install NVM does not response...

output.webm

[SamuelNitsche]

Did you check the output of the command Marcel posted earlier?

I am also facing the same issues. On my Mac, I have installed Herd, which automatically installs the NVM. but it seems it could not be detected in GUI.

Here are additional details:

macOS: 14.4.1

Chip: Apple M2

Herd Version: 1.5.0

@SamuelNitsche did it work for you after cleaning the ZSH output?

[mpociot]

I have improved the way we detect NVM, so this will be fixed in the next release

[vcardillo]

I am having a similar issue:

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
$ /bin/zsh -l -c "[[ -f ~/.zshrc ]] && source ~/.zshrc; echo $NVM_DIR"
/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/nvm

Am I encountering the same issue?

[mpociot]

This fixed with Herd 1.6.0

[fboc]

This fixed with Herd 1.6.0

I still have this issue with NVM, also after the 1.6.0 update

[roshanjonah]

Me too. I am running on 1.6.0 on Mac but just does nothing when I click and neither does it recognise.

Similar here, but on a newer version of Herd.... Herd 1.6.1 // Sonoma 14.5 // Settings | Node | Install NVM (Nothing Happens)

[mpociot]

@MarkKnowlesR40 which shell do you use?

[fboc]

Similar here, but on a newer version of Herd.... Herd 1.6.1 // Sonoma 14.5 // Settings | Node | Install NVM (Nothing Happens)

Nothing happens also on Ventura 13.6.7 with Herd 1.6.1.

@MarkKnowlesR40 which shell do you use?

It complicates things, but I switched from bash to ZSH during this. I have two machines that share the same issue. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but one thing they have in common is that npm and node are installed in a path that includes a "space" (...Application Support..."). See Below. Tow of my colleagues, who don't have this problem don't have a space in their paths as they installed npm before Herd.
