How did you install nvm? (e.g. install script in readme, homebrew): install script in readme
What steps did you perform?
What happened? When echoing the PATH in vim, I am not seeing the directory for where the global apps are going. Outside of vim I see it. I am posting here because to be honest, looking at my zshrc I am not defining the path. I am guessing nvm does some type of magic
What did you expect to happen? I see the path for my global node modules
Is there anything in any of your profile files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, etc) that modifies the PATH? Yes

it works for me, in my dotfiles

fyi, you shouldn't have shebang that uses sh in sourced rc files (e.g. #!/bin/sh in your https://github.com/jrock2004/dotfiles/blob/5f72c864cd93a9f3a6f47e17deec0593fba47543/zsh/zplug.zsh) that causes the sh shell to be spawned and commands run in sh instead of the current shell (your zsh instance)

@davidosomething Are you specifying your node modules path in your dotfiles?

davidosomething commented 7 years ago

not manually - NVM does that when it is sourced by zsh (your nvm is sourced by sh)

jrock2004 commented 7 years ago

@davidosomething Is that my issue? Because the way I am sourcing it?

davidosomething commented 7 years ago

that's my guess, you're sourcing a file that -spawns a shell and adds things to that spawned shell- instead of adding things directly into the current shell

jrock2004 commented 7 years ago

@davidosomething I removed that from the file you listed above, so that is not the issue. Guess I will keep looking

nvm-sh / nvm
