Hey

Is there anything about my problem?

[pkuczynski]

I dont know why this line would cause a problem. Nobody else reported this either. I am using ZSH on macOS Catalina too, and dont experience this issue. Its super hard to debug it if its not reproducible :(

Hey, Piotr.
Yes, I also successfully installed rvm on 4 mac mini (ci agents) and my hackintosh. But on macbook I get the error described above. I installed rbenv on it and everything works like a clock. Anyway, thanks for the answer. 😉

Can you show the contents of zshrc which are about rvm settings?
