Using nvm.fish from .envrc #229

This is not reporting a defect more of a curiosity I think , so feel free to ignore/close

I am looking for advice on how to run nvm.fish from an .envrc file loaded via direnv.

The .envrc file:

[ -s "$HOME/.config/fish/functions/nvm.fish" ] && fish -c "nvm list; nvm use v16.16.0";

But nvm seems to default to the system version. The output:

direnv: loading ~/Projects/acme/.envrc
     system
 ▶ v16.16.0 lts/gallium
Now using Node v22.8.0 (npm 10.8.2) /opt/homebrew/Cellar/node/22.8.0/bin/node

While nvm list does pick up the right version. The subsequent nvm use seems to ignore it. I am pretty sure this has to do with some shell shenanigans, as running nvm use v16.16.0 directly works.

Interestingly enough, when using a wrong version:

[ -s "$HOME/.config/fish/functions/nvm.fish" ] && fish -c "nvm list; nvm use foooo";

will result in 

direnv: loading ~/Projects/acme/.envrc
     system
 ▶ v16.16.0 lts/gallium
nvm: Can't use Node "foooo", version must be installed first

so nvm does parse the version but for some reason doesn't use it in this context.

Ah. Using search term direnv showed me

It seems that nvm 2.x is not working with direnv

For that matter it also means i can't run it via https://taskfile.dev I think.
