Problems when `cd`'ing into sub dirs

[jollytoad]

Following up from my post on discord.

Using:
pkgx 2.6.0 - installed via brew install pkgx
dev 1.8.0 - shellcode integration: pkgx dev integrate
zsh 5.9 (arm64-apple-darwin24.0) - as supplied in Mac OS Sequoia 15.4

(I was also using oh-my-zsh, but I've disabled that to see if that had any effect, but it doesn't appear to)

I've checked out the code for this repo, and can reproduce all issues here too.

So, starting at the parent of this dev repo, (i've truncated the output of PATH):

parent % echo $PATH
/opt/homebrew/bin:...

parent % cd dev
dev % echo $PATH
/Users/me/.pkgx/info-zip.org/unzip/v6.0.0/bin:/Users/me/.pkgx/deno.land/v2.3.1/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:...

dev % cd src
-deno.land -deno^2.1
no devenv detected
(eval):1: permission denied: /Users/me/parent/dev

src % echo $PATH
/opt/homebrew/bin:...

src % cd ..
dev % cd fixtures
-deno.land -deno^2.1
Error: CmdNotFound("testing.org")

fixtures % echo $PATH
/opt/homebrew/bin:...

dev seems to no longer show what has been activated when entering a dir, and loses all packages within subdirs

I do a lot of Deno development myself, so happy to dive into the code, although I'm not sure how to 'integrate' the source app.ts so I can hack whilst testing

[jollytoad]

The first problem I see is from the sh code:

eval "$(${dev_cmd})" "$dir"

which is trying to eval "no devenv detected" when entering a sub-dir!

no devenv detected should ofc go to stderr, so that is an amateur mistake.

All the same it is confusing that it is not finding the devenv when you go in a subdir, we thought this fixed. I will try to figure it out.

Unlikely to get to it today though.

Edit: it does go to stderr, so this shouldn't be the problem.

Missing \ lol.

This happened because testing dev shellcode is a bitch. We need to fix that.

@mxcl I believe the issue is still present. Here’s what I’m seeing:

$ dev -v
dev 1.8.0

$ pwd
HOME/experiment

$ cat .pkgx.yml 
dependencies:
  erlang.org: =27.3.4

$ which erl
erl not found

$ dev

$ which erl
HOME/.pkgx/erlang.org/v27.3.4/bin/erl

$ cd lib
-erlang.org=27.3.4
no devenv detected
(eval):1: permission denied: HOME/experiment

$ pwd
HOME/experiment/lib

$ which erl
erl not found

No unusual folder permissions as far as I know. dev is installed via Homebrew:

$ brew install pkgxdev/made/dev

And integrated like this:

$ cat ~/.zshrc
eval "$(dev --shellcode)"

MacOS 15.5 (24F74), using zsh:

zsh --version
zsh 5.9 (aarch64-apple-darwin24.4.0)

nix is installed on this computer so I can't rule out some permission shenanigans, but nothing that should affect HOME/experiment... is there more debugging I can do to trace the potential issue? I can also make a new issue if that's easier to track?
