Recently I installed jbake with gvm and was wondering why it wasn’t accessible within my shell after resourcing my .bashrc.
The problem
There is this line in my .bash_profile
[[ -s "/home/frank/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh" && -z $(which gvm-init.sh | grep '/gvm-init.sh') ]] && source "/home/frank/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh"which initializes the gvm environment and updates your PATH variable to get access to the current or configured versions of tools managed through gvm.
The workaround
The gvm-init.sh Skript sets an environment variable called GVM_INIT which skips updating the PATH variable if set to true.
To update your PATH variable execute the following commands
export GVM_INIT=false
source ~/.bashrcBut I’m still wondering. If I close my shell and open a new terminal window, the phenomenon is the same. jbake is still not accessible.
Yet I don’t get it. Maybe I’m still to tired. I’ll do some further investigation.
