nave not switching version when usemain used

[remy]

I'm not 100% sure this is a bug or a screw up in how I'm using nave, but:

I've used nave usemain latest (which puts me on 0.6.0). When I run nave use 0.4.12 it fires up a new shell, but when I run node -v it returns 0.6.0.

I expected that when I switch to the shell, I could enter a node repl and it would be under 0.4.12 (in this example).

Like I said, I suspect I'm doing something wrong, so please do set me on my way!

Ta.

What does echo $PATH output in the 0.4.12 subshell? Are you perhaps setting the PATH explicitly in your .bashrc so that nave's setting gets overwritten?

[remy]

echo $PATH outputs (but I've split on :):

/usr/local/mysql/bin
/usr/local/git/bin
/usr/local/mysql/bin
/usr/local/share/npm/bin
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin

And I know that node is sitting in /usr/local/bin/ with version 0.6.0 - but that was installed from nave usemain latest

Any suggestions on tweakage?

Check your .bashrc or .profile or .bash_profile. You've got some line that's doing PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:..... Make it something like PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin... instead. Nave injects the PATH environment variable to set the version of node that gets used, but your profile is clobbering i.t

That did the trick - cheers!
