[Bug]: zshenv is not sourced

[wrdls]

Current Behavior (bug)

.zshenv doesn't seem to be sourced which breaks my oh-my-zsh install.

Starting a devbox shell...
/Users/wardloos/.zshrc:source:41: no such file or directory: /oh-my-zsh.sh
/Users/wardloos/.zshrc:235: command not found: compdef
(devbox) 

Oh-my-zsh is installed with home-manager (with fleek) which adds the following lines:

.zshenv

ZSH="/nix/store/2rg6fplzz5klibd6cw8nm5vikpw71sig-oh-my-zsh-2023-06-26/share/oh-my-zsh";
ZSH_CACHE_DIR="/Users/wardloos/.cache/oh-my-zsh";

.zshrc

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

From the output /oh-my-zsh.sh it seems like $ZSH is unset which makes me believe .zshenv is not sourced properly.

Expected Behavior (fix)
.zshenv is sourced properly.

@wrdls

1. where are your .zshenv and .zshrc located?
2. what is the value of ZDOTDIR ?

I notice Devbox doesn't respect ZDOTDIR when linking the zsh startup files to the devbox shell. I suspect that is the cause here, but wanted confirmation. Thanks!

ZDOTDIR is not set.

I tried enabling programs.zsh.dotDir like this:

    dotDir = ".config/zsh";

Which results in

❯ echo $ZDOTDIR
/Users/wardloos/.config/zsh

❯ cat ~/.zshenv                
source $HOME/.config/zsh/.zshenv

But that makes my experience worse as not even starship is loaded now when entering the devbox shell.

[savil]

When I try it on my mac using the compiled Devbox from main, it seems to work for me:

My setup:

❯ ls -al ~/.zshenv
lrwxr-xr-x 1 savil staff 29 Oct 25 16:59 /Users/savil/.zshenv -> /Users/savil/zsh-test/.zshenv

devbox on  main [$] via 🐹 v1.21.1 via ❄️  impure (nix-shell-env) on ☁️  (us-east-2)
❯ cat /Users/savil/zsh-test/.zshenv
...
export FOO_ENV=bar
FOO_ENV_UNEXPORTED=bar

> cat ~/.zshrc
...
  echo "FOO_ENV is $FOO_ENV"
  echo "FOO_ENV_UNEXPORTED is $FOO_ENV_UNEXPORTED"
...

Opening a new devbox shell, I see this:

❯ devbox shell
Starting a devbox shell...
FOO_ENV is bar
FOO_ENV_UNEXPORTED is bar
(devbox)

Are you sure nothing is writing to ZSH in your .zshrc prior to that line source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh?

This is my complete $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc as generated by home-manager up until source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh:

I tried #1587 and that seems to work 👍

@wrdls I'm glad to hear that. I still don't understand why its now working. Nothing about the zsh config files you shared stand out as being problematic :/
