No zprofile?

[SturmB]

I have a situation where I'm also installing Ruby using geerlingguy's role. This places a shell script in /etc/profile.d/ called rubygems.sh. (There are several other *.sh files there, btw.)

Because zsh does not source /etc/profile (to the best of my knowledge), none of these scripts ever run. However, isn't zsh supposed to install /etc/zprofile? If so, this role does not do so. Thus, no scripts in /etc/profile.d/ are ever sourced and, therefore, Ruby and some gems I install using geerlingguy's role are not accessible.

Am I wrong about any of this? Or what sort of fix needs to happen here?

You are right, /etc/profile.d should be sourced to shell.

As temporary solution: you can add to ~/.zshrc.local (create it):

source /etc/profile.d/rubygems.sh

Or include all in /etc/profile:

source /etc/profile

I'm not sure that it not break anything, will try to use my terminal with source /etc/profile.

Thank you!

Please, give feedback, is it solved your situation?

I had added source /etc/profile.d/rubygems.sh to my ~/.zshrc.local file a few days ago and it appears to work.

Just now, I tried the second option and that, too, appears to work without issue. Perhaps this should somehow be added to this role? Perhaps included in .zshrc?

@SturmB , added variable zsh_load_etc_profile (default: yes) will load /etc/profile.d scripts, in ~/zshrc. Thank you!
