zsh not sourcing the grc.zsh despite everything been set correctly

[justkelvin]

zsh will not source the grc.zsh for some weird reason, when I paste the command in the prompt it is getting sourced, but not from my .zshrc file.

Are you using a Zsh plugin framework like zsh4humans? I had a very similar issue here https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/issues/218

There are two workarounds at the moment in that scenario:

1. Source grc.zsh in your .zprofile file
2. And according to @bkmo, edit grc.zsh and change https://github.com/garabik/grc/blob/f4a579e08d356a3ea00a8c6fda7de84fff5f676a/grc.zsh#L3 to if [[ "$TERM" != dumb ]] && (( $+commands[grc] )) ; then and comment out https://github.com/garabik/grc/blob/f4a579e08d356a3ea00a8c6fda7de84fff5f676a/grc.zsh#L95

Not sure if this is your specific use case but the first workaround was fine for me.

I would suggest just creating a .zprofile and sourcing it there. No need to mod grc.zsh that way.

Also, this workaround from @romkatv if you are using zsh4humans > https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/issues/218#issuecomment-1276387398

Yes that is the best way to do it in my opinion. z4h source /etc/grc.zsh <$TTY
