[Bug]: Symlink error message when starting a new terminal window

[rbelem]

Current Behavior (bug)
Getting the following error message when starting a new terminal window. Devbox shellenv is sourced.

Error: symlink /home/rodrigo/.local/share/devbox/global/default/.devbox/nix/profile/default/include /home/rodrigo/.local/share/devbox/global/default/.devbox/virtenv/.wrappers/include: file exists

Expected Behavior (fix)
No error message

i don't get this error when running from main, though.

@mikeland86, looks like an error with Devbox global sourcing

@rbelem I'm having trouble repro-ing this. My best guess is a race condition. Is there any package in your global that may might run on every command? When I delete the include symlink it reappears right away which makes me thing there's something under the hood calling devbox global shellenv. This can happen because the binaries are wrapped with devbox global shellenv.

[bketelsen]

to reproduce it, do something that modifies your global devbox, which will trigger this error handling path.

There certainly is in mine... most of them. direnv, starship, atuin, etc.

[bketelsen]

but maybe i'm mis-understanding the code. I'm not sure why running those apps would trigger a new shellenv call.

Eventually I'm getting this error as well

I can't reproduce the error when running a build from main.

@rbelem it's a race condition so may not always repro. Here's the fix #1082

We may do a quick release to get this in.
