RVM can't set ruby as default - rvm

Question

I have no idea why but RVM can't seem to change the default Ruby. I'm using Oh My Zsh and tried everything I've found but nothing seems to work.
➜ Sites rvm use 2.0.0 --default
Using /Users/anahkiasen/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247
➜ Sites rvm list
rvm rubies
=* ruby-2.0.0-p247 [ x86_64 ]
# => - current
# =* - current && default
# * - default
➜ Sites rvm reload && rvm list
RVM reloaded!
rvm rubies
* ruby-2.0.0-p247 [ x86_64 ]
# => - current
# =* - current && default
# * - default
Now the Ruby is set as default but RVM doesn't load it as "current", which means it does not load the gemsets that are affiliated to it.

Nothing.
I have no .bashrc nor .bash_profile. There is no RVM reference in my .zprofile and here is my .zshrc :
# Path to your oh-my-zsh configuration.
ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh
# Set name of the theme to load.
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
DEFAULT_USER="anahkiasen"
# Uncomment following line if you want red dots to be displayed while waiting for completion
COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS="true"
# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
plugins=(git bower brew composer gem laravel sublime)
## RVM and Rubygems
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
I've tried swapping the above two lines, tried moving the RVM loading into .zprofile, nothing. Everytime I open a new instance of the terminal, the default is gone.
It loads the correct ruby, meaning if I do ruby -v I get the version I want, but for RVM it's not loaded and thus I have none of the gemsets.
I've also tried rvm --default use 2.0.0, rvm use 2.0.0#develop --default but same result.
I've reinstalled RVM, I've set recursively the permissions of the .rvm folder to the current user, nothing.
I'm kind of desperate at that point.

Answer 1

As you are using OH-MY-ZSH you might be hitting issue similar to this: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/pull/1359
RVM has a "fix" function, run:
rvm get head --auto-dotfiles
It will reorganize your dot files - it is important to read the output and follow instructions.
Make sure to use login shell for best effect.

Ah ha !! I just faced the same problem and resolved it eventually.
Let me reiterate my issue: Everytime i start my terminal, i had to first do a bundle install each time. Then i figured, Its not correct. So i tried sourcing my zshrc.
So everytime i had to do source ~/.zshrc or simply zsh also did the same and my gemset would get identified. Ofcourse assuming RVM and all other dependencies are installed correctly
Finally i figured i needed to do the following:
$ vim ~/.zlogin
The contents of the .zlogin should be
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
zsh #to initiate zsh (you could also replace this with 'source ~/.zshrc')
This resolved my problem. Now everytime i start my terminal, my defaults are all set.
Let me know if this works for you.
