Path doesn't respect order

[paradox460]

I've got another interesting conundrum.

I've got a customized path in my .zshenv, pretty much the standard one, just rearranged slightly:

path=(
  /usr/local/{bin,sbin}
  /usr/{bin,sbin}
  /{bin,sbin}
  ~/.bin
  $path
)

But if i run echo ${PATH} in a new terminal, I get /Users/jeffs/.rbenv/shims:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Users/jeffs/.bin

As you can see, the /usr/local is appearing later in the path than the /usr/bin. Homebrew tends to whine about this, as it should, as system binaries could override homebrew binaries this way.

Interestingly enough, though, if i run exec $SHELL and then run echo ${PATH}, i get /Users/jeffs/.rbenv/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/Users/jeffs/.bin:/opt/X11/bin:/Users/jeffs/.rbenv/shims, which is correct.

I forgot to sudo chmod ugo-x /usr/libexec/path_helper on my new system. I feel like an idiot.

Sorry, I have the same problem.I'm having the same problem. I'm running zsh inside tmux.

~/C/prezto ruby:2.0.0-p195 git:master ❯❯❯ cat /etc/paths
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

~/.zshenv:

# Set the list of directories that Zsh searches for programs.
path=(
  $path
  ~/.jarvis/bin
  ~/.go/bin
  /usr/local/share/npm/bin
  /usr/local/heroku/bin
  /usr/local/{bin,sbin}
)

~/.zshrc:

export PATH="./bin:$PATH"

~/C/prezto ruby:2.0.0-p195 git:master ❯❯❯ print -l $path
./bin
/Users/fuad/.rbenv/shims
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/Users/fuad/.jarvis/bin
/Users/fuad/.go/bin
/usr/local/share/npm/bin
/usr/local/heroku/bin
/usr/local/sbin

A lot of stuff has been moved between .zprofileand .zhenv. Are you sure you are using the latest versions?

[fuadsaud]

I update my dotfiles; problem continues.

[fuadsaud]

Printing out the path right after setting it on .zprofile outputs the expected result.

[pablox-cl]

That was the reason issue #500 existed ;)

I see, thanks for the link. I thought I had path_helper disabled, but I didn't; that did the trick
