Antigen is trying to find .zshrc in home folder after moving It to new directory

Description

Antigen is trying to find .zshrc in home folder after moving It to new directory and declaring new ZDOTDIR in .zshenv (located in home).

From time to time (usually when I open my second shell after logging in), I lose my prompt and all my plugins, but everything else located in my .zshrc still works (sourcing aliases, scripts, LS_COLORS and so on).

When trying to source my .zshrc manually in this terminal I got the default antigen messages saying that my plugins are installed, but I'm still not able to use them untill I do antigen reset and open a new shell.

This new shell now says: -antigen-cache-generate:zcompile:65: can't open file: /home/<my-username>/.zshrc, but this time all my plugins are correctly sourced and ready to use.

This behavior is still happening after complete re-install and deleting the .zwc and .zcompdump files.

Steps to reproduce

1 - Change ZDOTDIR in ~/.zshenv
2 - Move files there
3 - Open new terminal (maybe restart)

Expected behavior:

All plugins should be available without needing to reset antigen.

More information

• After running antigen reset, I'm able to work without issues until the next time I boot, even when opening multiple shells.
• It didn't happened inside pycharm for some reason
• I open a terminal instance by default in every log in, this terminal is always ok and running without problems.

Update

Added the line: typeset -a ANTIGEN_CHECK_FILES=(${ZDOTDIR:-~}/.zshrc ${ZDOTDIR:-~}/antigen.zsh) before sourcing antigen.zsh in my .zshrc.

Now the behavior is the same, but I no longer see this message: -antigen-cache-generate:zcompile:65: can't open file: /home/<my-username>/.zshrc, so that's a start...

I can reproduce this very easily now, I just have to open a terminal inside pycharm and then open another one in my terminal.

Every time I open a new terminal inside pycharm, I see all the installing messages, I tested in vscode and It doesn't happens there.
