Rvm Warning! Path Is Not Properly Set Up

Getting Warning! PATH is not properly set up when doing rvm use 2.0.0 --default

The answer was to put this:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" 
# Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

**at the BOTTOM** (last line - important!) of my .bashrc file. I had it in my .bash_profile file (I am on Ubuntu) and that only partially worked leading to the confusing errors.

RVM list - Warning! PATH is not properly set up

Try this rvm reset
Then run: rvm version

Let me Know if it still not resolved
Thanks!

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, /Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin is not at first place

Solution

I found the solution here which states the following:

I encountered a similar error using Mac OS 10.14.6 and RVM 1.29.9.

For me the issue was resolved by moving the following code in my .bash_profile to the bottom of the file:

# RVM can encounter errors if it's not the last thing in .bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to path for scripting (to manage Ruby versions)
export PATH="$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH"
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

RVM PATH is not properly set up

Your PATH does not start with /home/sam/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin because you have a line prepending the Heroku toolbelt path.

You can check this is true by running this in your terminal:

PATH=/home/sam/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin:$PATH rvm info

It shouldn't complain.
The problem comes from Heroku toolbelt modifiying your env in ways rvm doesn't care for.
As per this post, the fix is to change your .bashrc like so:

### Added by the Heroku Toolbelt
export PATH="/usr/local/heroku/bin:$PATH"

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
# Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

You can remove the rvm line from .bash_profile

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, usually this is caused by shell initialization files

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

RVM - Warning! PATH is not properly set up

You are referencing two problems in your question: the first one is answered by @the-tin-man, the other is a permissions problem:

Permission denied - /Users/mbauer/.rvm/src/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@global/cache/gem-wrappers-1.2.1.gemERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)

You can fix it using:

rvm fix-permissions
