How did you install nvm?

Homebrew

What steps did you perform?

nvm install 14 --reinstall-packages-from=node

reinstall-packages to work instead of failing as shown above.

As you can see, it failed to parse/split the list of global packages as it is a single string with a /n instead of valid two paths.

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

No

(note: nvm is unsupported when installed via homebrew, as the formula indicates; please brew uninstall it and install it properly with the install script from the readme)

What does npm ls -g --depth=0 print out?

@Maciej93 what version of nvm are you using? If not the latest, please upgrade and try again.

[gabmontes]

@ljharb just tried again to go from v14.17.6 to v16 and had the same problem.

The problem happens with the packages that were npm link'ed from local repositories. The ones installed globally from NPM were properly migrated.

Logs below:

Hope this helps. If you need any more information, please let me know. Would be awesome if we can figure this out!

[ljharb]

In node 14, what's the output of nvm_npm_global_modules? Please try to redact as little as you can; specific characters might be important since we're doing string parsing.

[gabmontes]

@ljharb this is the output:

$ npm ls -g --depth=0

$ nvm_npm_global_modules 14

It is edited but believe me, there are no special chars or anything weird.

[ljharb]

What's the output of type -a cd?

[gabmontes]

It is:

$ type -a cd
cd is a shell builtin
cd is /usr/bin/cd

[ljharb]

aha, this is zsh - what's the output of setopt? The stock setopt on my zsh is:

combiningchars
interactive
monitor
shinstdin
zle

[gabmontes]

Yeah! I'm using zsh as described in the output of nvm debug 😄

The output of setopt on mine looks much larger:

$ setopt
alwaystoend
autocd
autopushd
combiningchars
completeinword
extendedhistory
noflowcontrol
histexpiredupsfirst
histignoredups
histignorespace
histverify
interactive
interactivecomments
login
longlistjobs
monitor
promptsubst
pushdignoredups
pushdminus
sharehistory
shinstdin
zle

Do you think any of these may be affecting nvm? My zsh is also almost stock. I only have some plugins enabled:

plugins=(common-aliases docker docker-compose git zsh-autosuggestions)

[ljharb]

Absolutely it might be - what would be great is if you can binary search and try to figure out which option it is (or which plugin, but that's never been an issue before for nvm users).

Once we've narrowed it down, nvm can work around it so you don't have to keep that option disabled.
