bug: ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME env variable works so wired

[siuyutpang]

Describe the Bug

I just don't want .tool-version clutter my home dir, So I set export ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/asdf/tool-versions in .zshrc file, Everything looks fine, but when i use asdf set global version, error occurs, but when i set export ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME=.config/asdf/tool-versions, everything works well.

Steps to Reproduce

asdf global maven 3.9.6

Expected Behaviour

set correct global version for maven

Actual Behaviour

/opt/asdf-vm/lib/functions/versions.bash: line 78: /home/foobar//home/foobar/.config/asdf/tool-versions: No such file or directory

No response

I am experiencing the same issue.

For me the issue occurs with command: asdf local ruby 3.2.2

/opt/asdf-vm/lib/functions/versions.bash: line 78: /home/foorbar/path-to-current-directory//home/foobar/.config/asdf/tool-versions: No such file or directory

It seems like the path to current directory is added to the ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME.

I fell to the same rabbit hole when I started to use asdf.

ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME is the name you are using in all folders, like .nvmrc, not the path that defines the global tool versions.

I've been trying to get my $HOME tidy of all extra files, but it seems that global .tool-versions file should be located in $HOME/.tool-versions.

My solution was to symlink $HOME/.dotfiles/base/tool-versions to $HOME/.tool-versions. It's not as clean as I'd like, but seems to work.

In fact you misinterpret the ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME value (like I did for few hours). The environment variable manage only the file name, not the full path... Once you understand that you better understand why you have "/anyfolder//folder-you-wish/.tool-versions" in the error message.

So to fix that I use

WORKDIR /opt ,

Then

source /opt/asdf/asdf.sh
asdf plugin-add "${plugin}"
asdf install 
asdf global "${plugin}"

And finally, to avoid sourcing asdf (which is totaly unuseful after the command above) just add

PATH="/opt/asdf/shims:xxxx"

And bash will find your asdf bin automatically
