Just running 'vv' for the first time will prompt for vv path, but not save it

I'm under Cygwin on Win10. Running anything prompts for VVV path every time.

Xedin Unknown ~
$ vv list
[Error] Path specified is not a VVV root directory. Where is VVV installed?
VVV install directory: ~/projects/XedinUnknown/vvv-local/
        * my-test           ( my-test.dev )

Xedin Unknown ~
$ vv list
[Error] Path specified is not a VVV root directory. Where is VVV installed?
VVV install directory: ~/projects/XedinUnknown/vvv-local/
        * my-test           ( my-test.dev )

Xedin Unknown ~
$ vv list
[Error] Path specified is not a VVV root directory. Where is VVV installed?
VVV install directory:

Any news? Is this confirmed? Or maybe, I'm doing it wrong?

Hi,

Forget Cygwin. I installed Ubuntu on a laptop now. Still, every time I run anything vv, it says the following:

Automagically found  
 Is this where vv is installed? (Y/n):

My --debug--vv

VVV install directory: ~/archive/systems/vvv/
----------
vv version 1.9.3

vv: /home/xedinunknown/systems/vv/vv

vvv path: /home/xedinunknown/archive/systems/vvv

@XedinUnknown Did you install via Homebrew or just install the script (via Git or whatever)?

[XedinUnknown]

@davidjray, I cloned the Git repo.

[davidjray]

@XedinUnknown I had the same problem after installing directly via the GIT repo. I am not sure how to fix the script itself, but if you manually edit "~/.vv-config" file it should stop prompting.

Also have the same problem, @davidjray your solution didn't work for me...

[davidjray]

Next time you see the message "Is this where vv is installed? (Y/n):" Try replying with Y. You should later get a message similar to "Path specified is not a VVV root directory. Where is VVV installed?". Or not at all. I am trying to recall the specific steps.

Another thing to make sure is that your path is setup correctly.

[XedinUnknown]

The message in itself is misleading, as it doesn't even specify the path, in which VV thinks that VVV might be.
Anyhow, on my previous attempt in Windows I had tried that, and it didn't work. Anyone?
And where's the repo owner??

This is a known issue and going to be fixed in the next version.

#161
#179

[davidjray]

@bradp Thanks! Good work on this.

@XedinUnknown @markidm make sure you have your path setup correctly. For me this didn't work:*VVVpath*/vv/vv but this did: *VVVpath*/vv.

My path output /devvv/wordpress-vvv/vv:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin after running echo $PATH

[XedinUnknown]

I installed VV as a sibling to VVV, i.e. not in a VVV subdirectory.

I tried suggestion of @davidjray, and it turned out that I don't have the ~/.vv-config file. I ran vv again, and this time chose "yes" when it asked me if the autodetected path is correct. It created the config file, but kept telling me that the path is not a VVV base path. Upon inspection of the config file, it turned out to be a JSON object with one member, path. The value was empty. I manually entered the correct value for it, and it worked.
