Not sure if this issue is related to a recent Oh-My-ZSH update, but all of a sudden, my RVM default Ruby is not loading when opening a new Terminal window (instead, it loads the system Ruby).

I have added [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" to about every dotfile on my system (.zshrc, .zprofile, .zlogin, .profile, even .bashrc and .bash_profile for good measure).

RVM is loading when the session starts (I can manually switch to the default with rvm default), and $HOME/.rvm/bin is in my $PATH. If I switch to a directory with a .ruby-version and/or .ruby-gemset file, it loads that Ruby.

EDIT: To clarify, my problem is that the default Ruby I declared with RVM (rvm use <RUBY VERSION> --default) is not being loaded when I start a new terminal session or when I cd out of a directory that has a .ruby-version file.

EDIT #2: Here is the results of rvm list

{15:20}[]~ ➭ rvm list rvm rubies ruby-1.9.3-p550 [ x86_64 ] ruby-2.0.0-p594 [ x86_64 ] ruby-2.1.3 [ x86_64 ] * ruby-2.1.4 [ x86_64 ]

    that's the point of .ruby-version or a .rvmrc file in a project, that way the project is being run with the same dependencies and versions across all machines. Commented Nov 11, 2014 at 15:51
  • @Anthony I understand what the .ruby-version file does. That is not the issue. I merely pointed that out to demonstrate that RVM itself is being loaded and is working as expected when I initiate a new terminal session. The problem is the default Ruby I declared is not being loaded when I start a new session; instead the system default (Mac OSX included) Ruby is. Commented Nov 11, 2014 at 17:31
  • What is the output when you do rvm list? What version has the * next to it (i..e # * - default) Commented Nov 11, 2014 at 18:11

Reset to default

So I half figured this out. I was attempting to set a default Ruby with the global gemset for that particular Ruby version (rvm use 2.1.4@global --default). When I set the default without the gemset, it persists and is loaded in each subsequent session.

In the past I have been able to load the default with a gemset. Not sure if this is an issue with the latest version of oh-my-zsh or rvm.

I had the same issue, and used this post to make oh-my-zsh honor the default rvm ruby instead of system ruby... Great so far, but still whould like to do what you wanted. 'rvm use 2.2.2@global --default' but if I do so, then the new shell/terminal defaults to using System ruby... Did you figure this out?
