Warning! PATH is not properly set up, usually this

Question

Whenever I go to a folder with a .rvmrc file, there is a warning:

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/home/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin' is not available,
         usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries,
         to fix run: 'rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p247'.

I did rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p247, but the warning is still present.

Note: There are no errors, Im able to run my application just fine, but the warning is very annoying. Any ideas?

Answer 1

This was a bug and was handled with https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/2050 and was released as rvm stable 1.21.15 at 2013-07-29 19:15:30 -0700

Answer 2

Solved!

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/home/vaibhav/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin' is not at first place, usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries, it might also help to re-add RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles', to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.3.1'.

rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles

Next you might get below Error:

RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with ‘rvm use …’ will not work. You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell. Sometimes it is required to use /bin/bash --login as the command.

I was able to get rid of this by doing

rvm get head

Answer 4

If you know what you're doing, and your PATH is set to what you want, you can suppress this message by putting the following in your ~/.rvmrc:

rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1

This is handy if you use other path-manipulating programs like virtualenv, or if you just want to prefix your path with ~/bin or something.

I had the same problem too, and rvm get head didn't work for me, finally it was solved by running rvm get head --auto-dotfiles, then restarted the terminal and the annoying warning message disappeared! And the solution is found here: https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/2074 Hope this will help.

Answer 6

rvm get stable solved this for me
