rvm keeps ignoring my .rvmrc

Question

I'm having some problems with my project. I keep an .rvmrc in my project's directory with the following config:

rvm use 1.9.2

and I put the following lines into my ~/.zshrc:

rvm_project_rvmrc=1
[[ -s $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] && source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Yet whenever I cd into my project's directory, ruby -v shows ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [universal-darwin11.0].

What am I missing here?

Have you been through all of the zsh integration page? http://beginrescueend.com/integration/zsh/ — Marc Talbot, Feb 18 '12 at 13:52
I have the same issue but only when doing `cd .` - zsh doesn't see changes while bash did. — iRonin, Feb 21 '13 at 06:59

Another thing could be that rvm doesn't trust your rvmrc. Please trust it manually again with

rvm rvmrc trust DIR

After an update, RVM seemed to be ignoring all my .rvmrc files. I eventually got it to work by running

rvm reload

Are you sure rvm is loaded correctly? According to the docs

type rvm | head -1

should show

rvm is a function

The rvm script referenced in you ~/.zshrc is only executed if it exists. Otherwise it's skipped silently.

Thats how it supposed to be. Does the rvm use 1.9.2 command work when executed manually? Is the ruby switched then? – iltempo Feb 18 '12 at 13:11

I added it again as an answer to not hide it in the comments. – iltempo Feb 19 '12 at 09:24
According to the rvm docs, the test string should be `type rvm | head -n 1` – Jarret Raim Aug 13 '12 at 22:41

hmmm... I'm getting `rvm is hashed` instead. Is that something it can also show? Or does that mean there's something wrong? – Hengjie Jan 23 '13 at 11:17

Setting rvm_project_rvmrc=1 probably only works within your .zshrc, try exporting it to the environment: export rvm_project_rvmrc=1

It's ok now after I applied @iltempo 's suggestion about `rvm` not trusting my `.rmvrc` – pkazmierczak Feb 18 '12 at 17:26
