My error looks like this:

Getting the same error. I've been trying to find the reason and it seems that the following code from .zshrc is broken:

export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

Removing these lines eliminates the warning. But then another issue appears:
PATH is not being extended with nvm location and hence tern binary is not being found for the javascript layer. tern binary not found spacemacs warning appears in the warnings buffer.

[RomanKapitonov]

An interesting observation:

If to replace

export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

with

export NVM_DIR=~"$HOME/.nvm"
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

the warning message disappears. I'm not sure how it's different from the above path, but that seems to make the warning disappear.

@RomanKapitonov Yes...I change my code from

source ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/git/git.plugin.zsh

to

source $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/git/git.plugin.zsh

Then the error disappear....
