ZSH complains about RVM __rvm_cleanse_variables: function definition file not found

Question

When using the latest ZSH and RVM on Mac OS X 10.7.4 ZSH complains about this:

__rvm_cleanse_variables: function definition file not found

Answer 1

To disable the .zcompdump* file(s), you could look in your .zshrc (or /etc/zsh/* files) for compinit and add the -D flag.

This might be better than creating the files and deleting them at every login.

Answer 2

Add rm -f ~/.zcompdump{,.zwc} to .zlogin to automate it

Answer 3

My problem persisted even after the compinit -D and rm -f ~/.zcompdump*. I found this github issue and checked my .zplug directory and sure enough found some non-hidden zcompdump files (no preceding '.'). Deleted those and I was good to go. If you're using a zsh plugin manager like zgen or zplug, check their directories.

Answer 4

Sometime there is also ~/.zcompdump-<COMPUTER NAME>-<VERSION> file, so use:

rm -f ~/.zcompdump*

Answer 5

Running the following solved the problem:

rm ~/.zcompdump*

Note: The * is incase there are multiple .zcompdump files.
