nvm upgrade doesn't work

[tjx666]

It looks like nvm can't recogonize the upgrade child command.

My .zshrc:

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

my .zshrc effectively very similar

$ antigen list
lukechilds/zsh-nvm @ master

yet nvm upgrade hasn't worked for years for me, on two separate machines...

[tonywoode]

if I source ~/.antigen/bundles/lukechilds/zsh-nvm/zsh-nvm.plugin.zsh manually somewhere at the bottom of my .zshrc then nvm upgrade works once more.

my suspicions turned to the line that nvm itself added in our .zshrc's, i.e. text from the nvm readme

The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.bashrc). export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

removing this seems to do the trick, it could be the case that we both installed nvm manually, however I remember installing nvm manually AFTER the nvm upgrade decorator stopped working? And what is it in zsh-nvm that's stopping nvm from writing this line back to our .zshrc's?

I had a similar error, that I resolved with a config change. I was missing the load command and instead was using the install command with zplug

Updated config: ~/.zshrc

# NVM
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

# Zplug
export ZPLUG_HOME=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/zplug
source $ZPLUG_HOME/init.zsh

# Zplug plugins
export NVM_LAZY_LOAD=true
export NVM_COMPLETION=true
export NVM_AUTO_USE=true
zplug load lukechilds/zsh-nvm
