Activate does not add mise to path

[iornstein]

Describe the bug In Getting Started, I expected that following the Activate mise steps that it would have added to the path as it indicates. However, running echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc does nothing. In fact, if I try to run ~/.local/bin/mise activate bash directly, I get no change with the following output:

export PATH="/Users/MY_NAME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export MISE_SHELL=bash
export __MISE_ORIG_PATH="$PATH"

mise() {
  local command
  command="${1:-}"
  if [ "$#" = 0 ]; then
    command /Users/MY_NAME/.local/bin/mise
    return
  fi
  shift

  case "$command" in
  deactivate|s|shell)
    # if argv doesn't contains -h,--help
    if [[ ! " $@ " =~ " --help " ]] && [[ ! " $@ " =~ " -h " ]]; then
      eval "$(command /Users/MY_NAME/.local/bin/mise "$command" "$@")"
      return $?
    fi
    ;;
  esac
  command /Users/MY_NAME/.local/bin/mise "$command" "$@"
}

_mise_hook() {
  local previous_exit_status=$?;
  eval "$(mise hook-env -s bash)";
  return $previous_exit_status;
};
if [[ ";${PROMPT_COMMAND:-};" != *";_mise_hook;"* ]]; then
  PROMPT_COMMAND="_mise_hook${PROMPT_COMMAND:+;$PROMPT_COMMAND}"
fi
if [ -z "${_mise_cmd_not_found:-}" ]; then
    _mise_cmd_not_found=1
    if [ -n "$(declare -f command_not_found_handle)" ]; then
        _mise_cmd_not_found_handle=$(declare -f command_not_found_handle)
        eval "${_mise_cmd_not_found_handle/command_not_found_handle/_command_not_found_handle}"
    fi

    command_not_found_handle() {
        if /Users/MY_NAME/.local/bin/mise hook-not-found -s bash -- "$1"; then
          _mise_hook
          "$@"
        elif [ -n "$(declare -f _command_not_found_handle)" ]; then
            _command_not_found_handle "$@"
        else
            echo "bash: command not found: $1" >&2
            return 127
        fi
    }
fi

with MY_NAME being corrected.

1 problem found:

1. mise is not activated, run mise help activate or
   read documentation at https://mise.jdx.dev for activation instructions.
   Alternatively, add the shims directory ~/.local/share/mise/shims to PATH.
   Using the shims directory is preferred for non-interactive setups.

Additional context If activate is NOT supposed to add mise to path, the instructions could be clearer.

did you try to restart your shell or run source .bashrc as the .bashrc only takes effect on restarts or manual sources. As the docu states:

Make sure you restart your shell session after modifying your rc file in order for it to take effect.

Thanks!

I restarted my shell a few times and I think there' something unexpected going on, as that should have worked. It turns out sourceing directly did it. I have to look into my terminal settings further, but that's some misconfiguration on my part and not on mise. Thanks for the help.

I did expect ~/.local/bin/mise doctor to work regardless of sourcing that though.
