Support .zshenv

[gonzus]

I don't have a ~/.zshrc file, I have a ~/.zshenv file with this in it:

export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.config/zsh"

so that all my zsh configuration files live in ~/.config/zsh, including my .zshrc. Zap does not seem to support this setup.

[mamaraddio]

I use the same setup and Zap works like a charm.

The problem here could be that your zshrc file haven't the . in front,
let me address it.

[wintermi]

I was looking through your dotfiles repos and do not see any issue which would cause Zap to fail. I did see a potential issue with the install script, though that could be easily fixed, but would not cause a failure.

[gonzus]

Just to clarify, my dotfiles repo is probably not up to date.

My file does have the . to begin with:

$ cat .zshenv
export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.config/zsh"
$ ls -al "$HOME/.config/zsh/"

Was the issue experienced during the install or afterwards?

[mamaraddio]

I recommend you to follow issue template for issues like that, anyway:

• Please answer to the wintermi's question
• Are you able to run zap version?
  • If yes, what the output of the previous command?
  • If not, are you able to source ~/.local/share/zap/zap.zsh

[gonzus]

The install seems to happen correctly, but zap doesn't work afterwards:

$ zsh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zap-zsh/zap/master/install.zsh) --branch release-v1
Zap is already installed in '/Users/gonzo/.local/share/zap'!

After installation, I can source ~/.local/share/zap/zap.zsh but zap version remains broken.

[mamaraddio]

Please do a

rm -rf ~/.local/share/zap
zsh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zap-zsh/zap/master/install.zsh)

This will completely uninstall Zap and reinstall it but without pinning it to the specific branch, there where many changes in last day.

Please try that version and let us know if it works

[wintermi]

PR #138 rectifies the issue with zap version failing.

[gonzus]

I tried that command, and got this error message:

$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/zap
$ zsh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zap-zsh/zap/master/install.zsh)

I think that hapenned because this line:

local ZSHRC="${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc"

is inside function main(), but at the very end, outside function main(), the script tries to source "$ZSHRC", and at least in my case, that variable is empty. If I move the local declaration to right before the main() function, the script seems to work.

[wintermi]

Please retest @gonzus and if you see any further issues please reopen.

All looking good, thanks!
