How did you install nvm?

install script in readme

What steps did you perform?

• ~/.zshrc has command to automatically switch node versions
• Created a .nvmrc file in the project, containing the non-default version 12

What happened?

• Open the project with vscode, open the terminal in vscode, and the node version switch automatically
• Click run in the npm script that comes with vscode, and the default node version is still used

What did you expect to happen?

• Click run in the npm script that comes with vscode, and the node version switch automatically

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

no

~/.zshrc

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm


# place this after nvm initialization!
autoload -U add-zsh-hook

load-nvmrc() {
  local nvmrc_path
  nvmrc_path="$(nvm_find_nvmrc)"

  if [ -n "$nvmrc_path" ]; then
    local nvmrc_node_version
    nvmrc_node_version=$(nvm version "$(cat "${nvmrc_path}")")

    if [ "$nvmrc_node_version" = "N/A" ]; then
      nvm install
    elif [ "$nvmrc_node_version" != "$(nvm version)" ]; then
      nvm use
    fi
  elif [ -n "$(PWD=$OLDPWD nvm_find_nvmrc)" ] && [ "$(nvm version)" != "$(nvm version default)" ]; then
    echo "Reverting to nvm default version"
    nvm use default
  fi
}

Is "npm scripts" a feature built into vscode, or a plugin? Either way I think you need to file an issue there; if the vscode terminal is correct, then anything that launches a program should start in that terminal, and also be correct.

Even the autoload scripts aren't part of nvm; you're kind of on your own when you choose to use them.

[vanchKong]

got it

[vanchKong]

sorry，again。
move config about nvm in ~/.zshrc to ~/.zprofile, my expect will happen, just for who have this problem later.

@vanchKong gotcha, that means that the "run script" command isn't starting a login shell. It's still something you should file with vscode or the extension.
