$nvm_default_version doesn't work in fish 4.0.0

[dmtrKovalenko]

I updated to the fish v4 and found that my default version doesnt work at all.

nvm install v23.9.0
set --universal nvm_default_version v23.9.0

now start a new shell from scratch and see fish: Unknown command: node unless I do the manual nvm use 23

Here is some info:

• the env variable is persisted between and have a correct value when starting a new session
• version: nvm, version 2.2.17
• on v4.b0 it seemed to be working correctly

FWIW I got it working with this set -Ux nvm_default_version latest

[dmtrKovalenko]

how? what version do you have installed? Mine is 2.2.17 and it just ignores the variable

Just works. Actually the -x flag seems redundant, your exact command seems to work for me. After restart node --version gives me correct node version.

$ nvm --version
nvm, version 2.2.17

$ fish --version
fish, version 4.0.1

$ set --universal nvm_default_version v23.10.0

Had some issues with the flags as well where -U didn't seem to work at first but --universal did.
When testing some more both seemed to work fine for me so I guess it was just some caching or spooky stuff messing with my conf.

Have this in my config.fish now and it works like a charm for new windows / tabs etc:

set -U nvm_default_version lts

fish, version 4.0.2 & nvm, version 2.2.18
