Node version manager wrapper for Fish shell

plugin-nvm

A nvm wrapper for Oh My Fish.

Install

$ omf install nvm

NB You have to install nvm itself separately (the curl method works fine under Fish too).

Usage

$ nvm --help

If you have a custom $NVM_DIR, please add the following line to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish, replacing the path accordingly:

set -gx NVM_DIR /path/to/nvm

Refresh your shell and you are good to go!

plugin-nvm's Issues

No default links created

For some reason the plugin stopped working yesterday. I am using fish & omf. Tried reinstalling, but same issue.

After installation node/npm is not recognized as command. I can manually fix it by creating symlinks:
ln -s /Users/Ben/.nvm/versions/node/v5.7.1/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm

but after that I run into permission issues... any idea whats changed or wrong?

Does not pickup default node version

I am using your wrapper - thanks for making it.

Only problem I have is that my fish shell keeps forgetting the default node version that I have set via:
nvm alias default 0.12

⋊> ~ node -v                                                                                                            16:59:06
fish: Unknown command 'node'
⋊> ~ bash                                                                                                               16:59:08

⋊> ~ nvm alias default 0.12                                                                                             16:59:22
default -> 0.12 (-> v0.12.7)
⋊> ~ node -v                                                                                                            16:59:28
v0.12.7

It is working in bash... any ideas?

"refresh" function deprecated

In the README, after running omf install nvm, the final step is to run refresh. However, FISH version 2.7.1 complains:

warning: function refresh is deprecated and will be removed soon.

What is the alternative to refresh?

NVM not using default version

Thanks in advance! Here's my issue: When using oh-my-fish and this nvm plugin, I can set 'default' to be the version of node I want. However, nvm is defaulting to 'system' instead of 'default'. I can switch which version of node I'm using, but whenever I start up a new terminal nvm reverts back to 'system'. I've also tried creating an alias for system, but that didn't work. How can I get nvm to remember what my default is? Attached is a screenshot to illustrate my problem.

init.fish (line 10): Expected a string, but instead found a '&'

After the most recent fish shell update on Ubuntu, fish loses the ability to find node / nvm. I get the following message on opening terminal.

Updating https://github.com/oh-my-fish/packages-main master... Done!
Error: nvm already installed.

I've previosuly had installed nvm using fisher install jorgebucaran/nvm.fish (which now is removed).
I've removed the .nvm folder together with the $NVM_DIR.

What's left?

Doesn't work on FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE

source: not found
nvm: not found

Default alias is ignored

This is the original issue, that was closed without being addressed (original reporter used a workaround).
#23

Setting a default alias for a version is still ignored - the new terminal always defaults to the system version

Question about lazy loading and `init_nvm` event

I am a new fish user and first off thanks for the plugin!

I've been trying to find a way to lazy load on a new shell, but I can't seem to find where or how the event init_nvm is emitted in the function in init.sh.

I think I found a work-around where I can lazy load nvm in fish. What do you think?

• I changed the event in init.fish to load_nvm (this seemed to prevent it from running on new shell startup)
• I added emit load_nvm to functions/nvm.sh
• Now every time you run nvm $arg it will load it on demand
• Is there any problem with this approach?

function init -a path --on-event load_nvm
  if type -q fenv
    set -q NVM_DIR; or set -gx NVM_DIR ~/.nvm
    set -g nvm_prefix $NVM_DIR

    type -q brew;
      and test -e (brew --prefix)/Cellar/nvm;
        and set -g nvm_prefix (brew --prefix nvm)

    fenv source $nvm_prefix/nvm.sh >/dev/null ^&1
  end

end

function nvm -d "Node version manager"
  emit load_nvm
  if test -e $nvm_prefix/nvm.sh
    if not type -q fenv
      echo "You need to install foreign-env plugin"
      return 1
    end

    fenv source $nvm_prefix/nvm.sh --no-use ';' nvm $argv
  else
    echo "You need to install nvm itself (see https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation)"
    return 1
  end
end

Brew install prefix issue

After installing nvm via brew and then adding the nvm plugin, when I try eg:

⋊> /V/M/p/aurelia nvm use current                                                                                                                                            

I get

nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/usr/local/Cellar/nvm/0.29.0/versions/node/v5.1.0"
Run `npm config delete prefix` or `nvm use --delete-prefix v5.1.0` to unset it.

Using the --delete-prefix does work, but I always need to use it or it fails. Any ideas how to fix it? Is there a better way to install nvm?

`env: illegal option -- 0` trailing every message

I recently installed this plugin to manage my nvm install. I've confirmed it works in bash, but as soon as I use fish, I see all messages are followed by:

env: illegal option -- 0
usage: env [-iv] [-P utilpath] [-S string] [-u name]
           [name=value ...] [utility [argument ...]]

Full output:

Node Version Manager (v0.39.3)

Note: <version> refers to any version-like string nvm understands. This includes:
  - full or partial version numbers, starting with an optional "v" (0.10, v0.1.2, v1)
  - default (built-in) aliases: node, stable, unstable, iojs, system
  - custom aliases you define with `nvm alias foo`

 Any options that produce colorized output should respect the `--no-colors` option.

Usage:
  nvm --help                                  Show this message

  nvm alias default node                Always default to the latest available node version on a shell

  nvm install node                      Install the latest available version
  nvm use node                          Use the latest version
  nvm install --lts                     Install the latest LTS version
  nvm use --lts                         Use the latest LTS version

  nvm set-colors cgYmW                  Set text colors to cyan, green, bold yellow, magenta, and white

Note:
  to remove, delete, or uninstall nvm - just remove the `$NVM_DIR` folder (usually `~/.nvm`)

env: illegal option -- 0

I'm assuming it's an issue on my end since this laptop is a bit old... Any ideas what would be causing this message?

You need to install nvm itself shows after refresh

On ubuntu 20.04
Fish version 3.1

Steps to reproduce

• install nvm with omf install nvm
• run nvm all works good
• refresh
• try to run nvm you get an error You need to install nvm itself (see https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation)

Node not available on a new terminal

Whenever I open a new tab or a completely new terminal I always have to do

$ nvm use x.y.z

or else I will get:

The program 'npm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install npm

I have just run omf update just to make sure that I had everything updated.

warning: function refresh is deprecated and will be removed soon

See this commit

Should update the Readme accordingly, would send a pull request but I don't know what the replacement would be 🙄

After installation, the "nvm" command isn't available.

After running omf install nvm, the command isn't available.

Anything I can do?

Defer initialising nvm until first use

Starting fish with this plugin is quite slow. Without nvm 0:00.03elapsed, with nvm 0:00.55elapsed.

I have a noticeable delay when staring my program launcher. Would be really great if it was possible to load nvm on first use, instead of when this plugin is loaded.

$ omf remove nvm
nvm successfully removed.
