nvm alias default not working as expected about nvm HOT 5 CLOSED

In the dir you're opening the shell, is there a .nvmrc file?

from nvm.

There is no .nvmrc file, this happens in any folder.
Or should I say it was happening, after a reboot everything seems to be happening as expected, any new shell has the default as default, 18 in my case.

Weird, please reopen if it happens again.

Just a note, this happened again, when having version 16 as default and setting 18 as the new default. Last time I thought there was an update that needed a system restart, but this time there was no update. However, the problem went away again with a restart.

The steps I took this time was:
0. I had version 16 set as default, with version 14 and 18 also installed

1. I set the new default to be lts/hydrogen and set to 'use' the new default
2. node -v returned version 18 as expected, but if the Terminal was restarted, the command returned version 16, even if nvm list was displaying the default alias as lts/hydrogen
3. I removed version 16 to make sure 18 will be the default
4. after a reboot, out of curiosity, I installed lts/gallium again and node -v this time returned version 18 as expected

For now I cannot inspect this any further, but I will make a note in the future if I notice anything

Thanks. It would have been helpful to know what the value of $PATH was during step 2, for future reference.
